and michigan secretary of state. joining us now is craig, reporter for the detroit news, thank you very much for joining us tonight. i appreciate it. >> thank you so much for having me. >> so you broke this story about this resignation in michigan republican party, and published this sort of scorching resignation letter from the official who stepped down, let me just ask you for a little context whether this was a surprise, whether this was the sort of person you kind of expected this from, and how it's landing in michigan. >> yeah, i mean i sort of expected it, having known tony for quite a while but this is a guy who has spent his life trying to elect republicans to office in michigan, and he has become increasingly frustrated with what is happening, with the republican party in this state, with what's happening with donald trump, and re-litigating the 2020 election. and i think it essentially came to a head with him over the weekend from what i can tell, and he finally said that he's done with this position on sta

on monday, the state of michigan reported 489 new daily-- david: michigan is surrounded by the great lakes. since the days of hunters and fur traders, the concept of freedom has been hotly defended here. trump won michigan by just a few thousand votes last time, and he's desperate to win it again. when the pandemic arrived, the democrat state governor, gretchen whitmer, brought in decisive measures to shut down the state. gretchen whitmer: today, i'm issuing a stay-home, stay-safe executive order for all michiganders. [crowd protesting] david: it triggered the virulent politics now playing out nationally. the handling of the public health crisis fell victim to a partisan brawl. gretchen: we're still not getting what we need from the federal government. without a comprehensive national strategy, we, the states, must take action. male: michigan finding itself in the president's crosshairs today. donald trump: michigan, she has no idea what's going on and all she does is say, "oh, it's the federal government's fault." and we've taken such great care of michigan. tucker carlson: she's mo

do you think that if michigan had run a primary, and michigan republicans as a whole had cast votes to pick nominees for those positions, that they would've pick those same folks or is this something about the sort of poor activists in the party that's different from how most people feel in the state? >> it's very difficult to tell. of course, the people that participate in this convention are the most ardent donald trump supporters that you can find in michigan. but i don't think it's necessarily a given that christian karamo and matt deperno would not have won a primary election. these are two individuals who don't trump has done a lot to help. he's come to michigan for rally, he's done telephone town halls, he sent on numerous statements to back them. and really, the people who are challenging christina crawl most, specifically within the party, did not really have a base of support, they didn't have the financial ability to compete with her. matt tournament of a different story. but i think what is clear in michigan after saturday, is the base of the party, the people that go door

of the citizens of michigan. i can file this lawsuit because i've got the constitutional authority to do that. i also have tools to bypass the local courts and the court of appeals to go straight to the michigan supreme court. they have never weighed in on this issue. it is absolutely imperative that they do because we know the u.s. supreme court is going to be rendering a decision soon, whether it's a complete overturning of roe or severely additionally undermining roe. we don't have time to waste or risk. there are a lot of women in michigan and families and providers counting on this right we've had for 49 years. >> what happens if the state supreme court does not rule in your favor? >> listen, the fight would continue. the fact of the matter is, we believe we've got the compelling state argument on behalf of the people of this state that this is a right that is covered by the michigan state constitution. that's why we're pursuing this. we're being aggressive about it because there's no time to waste with this

not just about michigan. the associated press is reporting, on a call, just yesterday, trump said, quote, this choice is not just about 2022, it is about ensuring the state of michigan cannot be stolen from republicans, in 2024. or ever again. how much power could a state attorney general deal have, when it comes to the outcome of a presidential election, in a given state? those are alarming words, from the president, we heard yesterday. >> the attorney general has substantial power. they represent the state of michigan, in all of the lawsuits. we represent the secretary of state, and the governor. if you recall, we had lawsuit, after a lawsuit, after lawsuit, attempting to decertify the election in michigan, and, in several other states. we had lawsuits from sydney powell, we had lawsuits from attorney general ken paxton, from texas attempting to decertify all our elections. really, there is no lawful election to the certify an election of the state, after they have already certified. they tried, but it was

how much is democracy under threat in michigan? >> well, here you have a guy who's a major part of his platform is locking up myself, the secretary of state, and the governor and any of his other political enemies our adversaries. and to do anything and everything he possibly can to ensure that donald trump gets his way in michigan. no matter what that means. and when you have somebody who personally as criminal jurisdiction and all 83 counties of the state, when you have money that has the kind of authority that the attorney general has in the state of michigan and so someone who is so incredibly beholden to donald trump, in every way shape or form, that spells disaster for us. and so many other states where we have trump endorsed candidates, for these critical election positions, but then positions of course that impacts so many other ways that the government operates. it's incredibly scary, i hope, listen i'm home if you are watching msnbc at 9:00 on a sunday night, you are aware of how much is on the line. but we really need to

we're going to talk about reproductive rights, dividing the state of michigan. there's a law currently on the books from 1931. it bans most abortions in the state. that law, though, became unenforceable in 1973 because of the court's roe v. wade ruling. governor whitmer filed lawsuits to block in 1930s law if the supreme court weakens or overturns roe v. wade. your office is not going to defend michigan in this case because of your own personal experience and you have been open about it. i will say, you were pregnant with triplets at the time. how did that frame your position that this law is harmful to women. >> i've always believed that women should have the right to have bodily autonomy, and those kinds of difficult decisions should be between a woman and her physician or a woman and her family, certainly politicians in our state should not be able to place themselves either in an individual's doctors office and be making those decisions on behalf of women. my decision not to defend the law wasn't based so much on my personal experience, though i thought it w

michigan had a horrific record. there was another state where they did not do the most important thing which was keep people safe in nursing homes. michigan, new york, and new jersey had very high rates of death in nursing homes. we don't mention in the study republican or democrat or red state or blue state. there were some blue states that did very well. i think vermont was third or fourth. vermont is a pretty blue state even though it has a republican governor. some red states did poorly. arizona had a fairly high death rate from covid. so we just kind of presented the evidence. we have gotten a lot of response on the study and a lot of people , researchers and so on have made some really good suggestions to us about how we might improve the study. we are taking that into account and we may do a new analysis based on things. if you look at texas, this gentleman mentioned texas. texas had a fairly high death rate from covid. so to new mexico and arizona. the question is, those are border states. was there an issue
