Ms. Harris made slight gains in Traverse City and its surrounding counties in northern Michigan, but Mr. Trump ultimately led in most of them. Ms. Harris gained only a few thousand votes in the region while Mr. Trump swept tens of thousands of votes elsewhere in the state.

A sudden era of good feeling often follows a presidential campaign. But would it, could it, in 2024? The candidates and their surrogates didn’t merely spend the last three months calling each other terrible names: They also repeatedly told the American people that a victory by the other would permanently ruin the country.

Donald Trump’s lead in Michigan became insurmountable after he improved his margin in Detroit’s county and won overwhelmingly in Republican-leaning parts of the state, closing off Vice President Kamala Harris’ path to victory.
