LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump’s extraordinary effort to mold Republicans’ 2022 tickets will be put to the test this weekend in Michigan, where thousands of party activists will endorse candidates including for attorney general and secretary of state. Trump, who continues to levy false claims about his 2020 loss, wants to oust Democratic officials who ensured the results stayed intact and replace them with allies. His preferred slate for the state’s top law enforcement and election jobs is drawing criticism, however, within a wing of the GOP that views the candidates as unelectable in November.
