LIVE Harris vs. Trump - Michigan election results map county-by-county
DETROIT (FOX 2) - Michigan is one of seven swing states that is expected to decide who will be the next U.S. President.
The race for the 47th President isn’t just huge in Michigan – it’s getting nationwide attention as former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are in a tight race for the Oval Office.
Harris, the first Black woman and first woman of South Asian descent to be a major party’s nominee, was elevated to the top of the Democratic ticket when President Joe Biden dropped out of the race following a disastrous debate performance in late June. Since getting the nomination by Democrats, Harris picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate in August.
Trump, meanwhile, has been the Republican front-runner for the past several years and had planned a third run for the White House since losing his re-election bid in 2020. He selected Ohio senator JD Vance as his running mate in July, just two days before Biden stepped down.

When will we know who won the election?
The Michigan Secretary of State said the first batch of votes will include both absentee ballots that have already been counted and early votes, which number around 3.3 million.
After that, the Election Day vote will be reported to county boards, as well as the state. As the night proceeds, election winners and losers will be projected.
Jocelyn Benson told reporters earlier Tuesday that turnout was expected to be higher than 2020, which saw some of the highest volume of ballots cast in years.
Benson said election operations had gone smoothly apart from some disruptions to a polling place in Northville Township due to a gas leak. There were also arrests made after individuals were found making threats of political violence.
Those that monitor election results closely advise against making assumptions about incoming numbers and what they mean. Incomplete data from counties that are still receiving figures from precincts can project uncertainty about the outcome of an election.
It is during this period that misinformation may spread online, election officials have warned. The best place to go for verifiable information amid uncertainty is the state website, which can be found here.
