Rudy Giuliani insisted that Trump declare victory in Michigan before the state was called

a new book says

Michigan was a key state in former President Donald Trump's electoral calculus for winning a second term in office.

In 2016, Trump narrowly won the Wolverine State by chipping away at the blue-collar base that had long powered wins by Democratic presidential nominees.

Last November, the former president's campaign team knew that the state's 16 electoral votes would be pivotal in a race against now-President Joe Biden.

However, before the race was called in Michigan for Biden, then-Trump personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani wanted the former president to preemptively declare victory in the key swing state, according to a forthcoming book by Michael Wolff.

Old bag of tricks - worked for W in Floriduh, although that 'revolt' also created SCOTUS judges so maybe they could have another go.
