On Friday’s episode of FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Michigan-born Kid Rock confidently predicted that former President Donald Trump would secure victory in his home state, much like he did in the November 2016 presidential election.
Host Laura Ingraham asked him: “What do you think is going to happen in Michigan, though? I mean, your home state going to wake up and decide, no mas, we’re not going to kill our auto industry with EVs, and he’s going to win it.”
Kid Rock replied: “Trump’s winning. Trump’s winning Michigan. I mean, the auto workers are smart enough to know that EVs mean you’re getting replaced with a robot.”
“They’re smart enough to know that. Everyone has Google.com. They can search it, whatever, like they know that this is coming. You know, I applaud what Elon Musk is doing. I think that guy is a genius. But in terms of Michigan, we’re going to make cars where we’re going to keep the industrial revolution alive. And we might have to innovate and go past that where things are going now. Am I getting off base here?” he said.
“Michigan is the melting pot of America,” he continued. “When people came from the South after, you know, the Industrial Revolution, the Civil War, this that and the other, and they stopped in Chicago, and they came to Detroit to make a living wage, this that and the other. They’ve stuck around. There’s been generations there, including my family.”
“I’m going to do the opposite. I’m going to do the opposite of Biden. I mean, if you don’t fight — if you don’t vote for Donald Trump, you ain’t from Michigan,” he concluded.
