LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Tudor Dixon in Michigan's Republican primary for governor, just days before the election that will determine the party's opponent for Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

Trump's endorsement Friday comes in a race where candidates have maneuvered for his support for months, the AP reported.

Dixon is a conservative commentator and actress. She's emerged as a leading candidate in a crowded field.

He joins former U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos in endorsing Dixon. DeVos, who is from Michigan, resigned from Trump's Cabinet after the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.
