The 2016 United States presidential election in Michigan was won by Donald Trump on November 8, 2016, with 47.50% of the total votes, over Hillary Clinton's 47.27%. All of Michigan's 16 Electoral Votes were assigned to Trump, contributing to his victory in the 2016 United States presidential election.

Michigan's March 8, 2016 primary was an open primary that included the Democratic, and Republican parties.

On November 24, 2016, Trump was declared the winner by the Detroit Free Press. The votes were certified by each county and submitted to the Michigan Secretary of State.[3] By winning Michigan, Trump became the first Republican candidate to win the state since George H. W. Bush in 1988.

After a recount, the Michigan Board of Canvassers certified Trump's lead of 10,704 votes over Clinton, a 0.23% margin, on November 28.[4] On this same day, Green Party candidate Jill Stein requested a second recount, by hand. The deadline to request a recount was then set at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, November 30. The second recount was halted on December 8 after a federal judge issued an order to Michigan's Board of Elections, making Trump's win in the state official.

The eleventh debate was held on March 3, 2016, at the Fox Theatre in downtown Detroit, Michigan.[9] It was the third debate to air on Fox News Channel.[10] Special Report anchor Bret Baier, The Kelly File anchor Megyn Kelly and Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace served as moderators.[11] It led into the Maine, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Idaho, and Hawaii contests. Fox announced that in order for candidates to qualify, they must have at least 3 percent support in the five most recent national polls by March 1 at 5 pm.[12] Ben Carson said on March 2 he would not be attending the debate.[13][14][15] During the debate, Ted Cruz had a small speck of white material on his lip.[16] The speck became viral with thousands of web searches per minute during the debate on "Ted Cruz nose".[17][18][19][20][21][22] The debate also drew controversy for when opponents claimed that Trump made an allusion to his penis in response to Rubio's comment about the size of his hands.[23]

General election

Although won by Democratic candidates in every election since 1992, sometimes by clear margins, in 2016 Michigan was considered a swing state and received much attention from Republican party candidate Donald Trump. Trump was able to win the state for the first time since George H. W. Bush won it in 1988,[24] albeit by a narrow 0.23% margin of victory. On Election Day, in Michigan, Detroit Free Press had prematurely called the state for Clinton at 9:15pm before retracting the call three hours later,[25] an error which had been common in many sources at the 2000 election, in the states of Florida and New Mexico.
