“The FOX News Decision Desk can project that former President Trump will claim victory in Michigan. Once a pillar of the ‘blue wall’ that secured Biden’s 2020 win, the state has become a fierce battleground once again. With the working class emerging as a critical group to sway, the economy topped the list of voter concerns, making it a decisive factor in this high-stakes contest,” Fox News wrote.

Per NBC News:
Former President Donald Trump has won the critical swing state of Michigan, NBC News projects, netting the Republican 15 Electoral College votes over Vice President Kamala Harris.
Michigan has been one of the nation’s most hotly contested battlegrounds since it helped Trump pull off a surprise victory in 2016. It had been seen as a linchpin of Harris’ path to keeping the White House in Democratic hands. No Democrat has won the White House without Michigan since Jimmy Carter in 1976.
Trump campaigned aggressively in the Upper Midwest state, which was also home to a contested Senate race, with promises to revive the domestic manufacturing that once gave the Rust Belt its name and claims that Michigan’s massive auto industry would not survive without him in power.
He was looking to flip working-class voters who may have previously identified as Democrats and to turn out low-propensity voters in rural areas, while Harris needed to maximize base turnout in major cities like Detroit while appealing to independents and some former Republicans in the suburbs.
According to Decision Desk HQ, Trump has eclipsed 300 in the Electoral College.
The outlet has Trump ahead of Harris 301-226.

A closer look:
From the New York Post:
President-elect Donald Trump has won Michigan — adding 15 electoral votes to his total and nearly completing a sweep of the swing states.
Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris 49.8% to 48.3%, with 98% of votes counted, the Associated Press reports.
Arizona is the only swing state left to be called — and the Republican ex-prez has won every other.
Ahead of the polls opening, election guru Nate Silver insisted a win in Michigan for Trump would all but seal the 2024 election for the former president.
With his triumph in the midwestern state, Trump has managed to repeat his 2016 victory, in which he turned the state red for the first time since George H.W. Bush defeated Michael Dukakis in 1988.
