During an online event for Michigan Democrats on Monday, a U.S. congresswoman who had rightly sounded the alarm about then-candidate Donald Trump’s potential of winning the state in 2016 delivered a similar message to her fellow Joe Biden supporters. The Trump Victory campaign has since responded to the event by issuing a taunting statement swiping at “hidin’ Joe Biden” and predicting success again in the longtime “blue wall” state.

The message from multiple Michigan Democrats during the event Monday was beware “complacency.” Among those urging continued vigilance despite very promising poll numbers out of the state was Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Dearborn), who says she simply does not “believe these numbers.”
