Much like in 2016, the 2020 election is expected to hinge on a small handful of states, Michigan among them.

In the election's final days, one of the state's most famous residents, actor Jeff Daniels, has teamed up with author Don Winslow to create a video that appeals to the hearts and minds of his fellow Michiganders to encourage them to vote for Joe Biden.


And when it comes to Donald Trump, the video pulls no punches, doling out a blistering rebuke of the President.

Daniels grew up and still lives in the small town of Chelsea, Michigan, about 60 miles west of Detroit.

In the video, Daniels opens the video by speaking about the hardy spirit of the people of Michigan and the dark times they're currently suffering through, especially in the state's struggling agricultural and industrial sectors.

"We're hurting in Michigan right now: in our factories, on our farms, in our hearts. In Michigan, we don't pound our chests and blow our own horns. We just get the job done. We suit up, show up and get to work."

Then, without ever speaking the President's name, Daniels delivers a blistering indictment of Donald Trump over images of a nurse fighting the pandemic, a U.S. military member reuniting with his child, and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who the President has repeatedly attacked in the media and in his speeches.

"Here in Michigan, we don't believe in paying off porn stars to keep their mouths shut about who we really are and we don't think much of a man who disrespects women. In fact, we don't think he's much of a man at all."

The video closes with Daniels saying that his home state "deserves" a president like Joe Biden before confirming that he voted for Biden in the election.

On Twitter, the video drew widespread praise from people all over the country.










Biden currently leads Donald Trump in the polls by an average of eight points in Michigan, which was one of three states that swung the 2016 election to Donald Trump.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.

Tennessee Republican Andy Ogles was called out after he shared a letter he sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi urging her to denaturalize and deport New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani over a lyric in a rap song Mamdani released in 2017.

Mamdani ran a campaign centered around economic populism, arguing that the city, a global financial center, has grown unaffordable for everyday residents, citing soaring rents and grocery prices, and outlining policies aimed at reducing the cost of living.
