Tudor Dixon told supporters that she didn’t accept her race had been projected for her opponent.
“We don’t accept that Fox is calling this,” Dixon said, vowing to stay up all night to count votes.
Fox News projected the midterm race for Michigan Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
At a party for campaign supporters, Michigan’s Republican gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon said she refused to accept that her race had been called for her opponent.
“This race is going to be too close to call, despite what Fox thinks,” Dixon told attendees after Democrat Gretchen Whitmer had been declared the projected winner by Fox News. “We don’t accept that Fox is calling this.”
Fox News projected that Whitmer had defeated Tudor, a Trump-backed candidate, with approximately 48% of votes tallied.
“I will see you guys when we have full results,” Dixon told her supporters. “The major counties have a very, very long way to go. Macomb is now telling us that they won’t even have any numbers until tomorrow morning. So that’s definitely going to be a late night for us.”
