Former President Donald Trump should be ineligible to appear on either of Michigan’s 2024 ballots due to his involvement with the Jan. 6 attack on the United States Capitol, according to a lawsuit filed in the Michigan Court of Claims Friday.

The suit hinges on the concept that Trump, during his 2020 re-election campaign – and afterwards, when it became apparent he lost the contest to now-President Joe Biden – engaged in insurrection and should be legally barred from holding office again under a section of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Didn't US domestic manufacturing basically go to all hell under Republicans?

Remember, the manufacturers dont have the same interests as manufacturing workers. Manufacturers are transnational and they want to use undocumented labor, child labor, union busting, and outsourcing for anything they can't use those three things to make. Republicans help with all of that.
