WARREN, Mich. Yes, theyll vote for her in November, but many Republicans who attended Donald Trump s rally in Michigan on Saturday werent gushing over their nominee for governor at a rally meant to boost the entire GOP ticket especially the woman at the top.

Trump was in Michigan, one of the countrys most important swing states, to drum up excitement for GOP nominees Matt DePerno, Tudor Dixon and Kristina Karamo, all seeking statewide office against incumbent Democrats . But Dixon, the partys nominee for governor, had the smallest contingent of visible allies, judging purely by the campaign apparel that people wore to the rally.

I like her, but shes not showing the passion that I want, where you get up there where you raise your voice and you see it in the eyes, said Ann Clark, a 72-year-old wearing a red MAGA hat and a shirt with Karamos name on the front and DePernos in the back.

I didnt vote for her personally [in the primary], but Im going to stand behind her. It just happened that she came up so fast, we werent so familiar with her, said Lisa Olson-Marshke, a 57-year-old educator wearing a shirt endorsing Karamo, who is running to be Michigans secretary of state.

Both Karamo and DePerno, the GOP nominee for attorney general who is under investigation for alleged election tampering, are seen as the purer grassroots candidates compared with Dixon.
