Kid Rock declared that former President Donald Trump will win Michigan again in the 2022 election.
When asked by Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Kid Rock responded that auto workers in Michigan are “smart enough to know” that electric vehicles will replace jobs with robots.
“What do you think is going to happen in Michigan, though?” FNC’s Laura Ingraham asked. “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.”
He said Michiganders want to keep the industrial revolution alive and innovate beyond EVs.
Kid Rock, a Michigan native, argued the state is a melting pot where generations of families have worked in manufacturing.
“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,” Kid Rock said. “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 if you don’t vote for Trump in Michigan, “you ain’t from Michigan,” taking the opposite stance of President Biden on supporting the auto industry.
Kid Rock expressed confidence that Trump will win his home state again due to opposition to the shift toward electric vehicles.
“[M]ichigan is the melting pot of America,” he said. “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.”
