Donald Trump
GOP front-runner Donald Trump, who is scheduled to appear in in Grand Rapids Monday night, is showing up a little late to the dance in Michigan.
Chad Livengood writes while other GOP presidential candidates have spent months assembling endorsements from Michigan Republicans and hiring consultants to help them compete in the state’s March 8 nominating contest, Trump is just in the process of hiring a GOP political operative to direct his Michigan campaign.
Livengood reports that Trump is hiring Scott Hagerstrom to direct his campaign in Michigan, and notes that it's Trump’s first effort to build a support network in the Great Lakes State with less than 80 days to go until the March primary.
“(Trump) is a proven success with the leadership capabilities to accomplish what those in Washington, D.C., cannot,” Hagerstrom said in the statement, according to the News. “I believe in his message, his vision and his ability to make our country better than ever before.”
