What contributed to Trump's defeat in Michigan?

Like I said Grand Rapids was represented by Independent former Republican lawmaker Justin Amash who was a huge trump critic himself. He was also a libertarian as well. And This state has a huge Middle eastern community as well.

There were many factors, but Trump getting killed in Kent and Oakland really did not help matters.

Voted for option 4 but in retrospect other factors were bigger.

Option 1 - certainly not. Macomb County supported Trump in 2020 and only shifted a few points leftward.

Option 2 - definitely a factor; Grand Rapids shifted pretty hard to the left.

Option 3 - to an extent, yes, but rural areas stayed as red as they had in 2016 if not slightly redder.

Option 4 - I voted for this though in retrospect 2 was probably bigger. Generally, despite Detroit swinging rightward, increased black turnout there and elsewhere contributed to Biden's win.

Option 5 - again, no.

Option 6 - maybe, definitely something interesting to consider

Option 7 - seems like a factor, but I'd point out Trump was actually less vocally Islamaphobic in 2020 than he was in 2016. Having said that, it's possible they were annoyed by his infamous 2017 executive order.

Option 8 - similar to option 2, though I'd say it played a smaller role than option 2 did.
