In Michigan, a state where Democrats have long outnumbered Republicans, a win for Biden could come down to turnout in cities like Flint, and party leaders here say they’re hopeful that fewer people will stay home.⁠ ⁠ People in Flint really dislike Trump, Bryant Nolden, a Democratic county commissioner, said, and his narrow victory four years ago showed how even a small number of votes can make a big difference.⁠ ⁠ “People’s eyes are wide open now,” he said.⁠ ⁠ Angelette Moore, 57, a retired autoworker from Flint, stayed home in 2016 because she thought her vote “wasn’t going to matter,” she said.⁠ ⁠ “They’re going to do what they’re going to do anyway. Who cares?” she said.⁠ ⁠ But, this year, Moore said, she has already mailed her absentee ballot.⁠ ⁠ “Trump’s got to go,” she said. “He’s the devil.”⁠ ⁠ Full story at the link in our bio.

Democratic state Rep. Sheryl Kennedy believes support is swinging back toward the Democrats in Richfield Township in Genesee County, Michigan. But on a drive around the area last week, it was clear that support for Trump remains strong.⁠ ⁠ Many residents don’t just have Trump lawn signs. They have Trump billboards — massive signs about 6 feet across that can be seen from a block away. Others have Trump flags or banners.⁠ ⁠ David Martin, the Republican county commissioner who is running against Kennedy for state representative, said many voters he meets want to know whether he supports the president like they do.⁠ ⁠ “For so long, their identity, their grandfathers, their fathers, their selves, they were blue-collar labor, and they were voting Democrat,” said Martin, who is backing Trump.⁠ ⁠ “Now there’s a shift in voting for values,” he said, naming gun rights, property rights, and “traditional marriage,” among other issues. “I think they went with Trump because they were a little scared of how fast progressives were moving.”⁠ ⁠ Full story at the link in our bio.

Barb Proffer was once a reliable vote for Democrats in Michigan’s Genesee County. But when it came time for the last presidential election, she did not cast a ballot for Hillary Clinton. She crossed party lines to support Donald Trump.⁠ ⁠ “He speaks in a way that a lot of people don’t like but I personally do like,” said Proffer, 63, an accountant who said Trump was the first Republican she had ever voted for. As she and her adult son pulled into the parking lot of Richfield Township Hall in search of absentee ballots last week, she said she now views Democrats as “corrupt” and plans to vote only for Republicans from now on.⁠ ⁠ “I like a man that speaks the truth and doesn’t fluff it up,” she said.⁠ ⁠ Full story at the link in our bio.

Black women are 40 percent more likely to die from breast cancer than white women. Black women are also more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage or at a younger age. Death rates for white women with breast cancer are improving more rapidly than for Black women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.⁠ ⁠ Research into the reason for these disparities is ongoing, but it’s likely “multifactorial,” Dr. Vivian Bea told @todayshow. What's more, Bea expects breast cancer outcomes for Black women to only get worse due to COVID-19.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in our bio to read more.⁠ ⁠ 🖌 Jenny Chang-Rodriguez / @todayshow / @gettyimages
