Right-wing commentator eyeing run for Senate or governor in Michigan
Right-wing commentator Tudor Dixon has said she is considering running for office in Michigan in 2026 but has yet to decide whether to opt for the battleground state's open Senate seat or governor's office. Dixon, 47, was previously the Republican nominee for governor of the Great Lakes State in 2022 but lost to Democratic incumbent Gretchen Whitmer. The pundit made her announcement in a statement posted to social media on Tuesday in which she attacked Governor Whitmer by saying she had spent six years 'driving our state into the bottom 10 nationally' and presiding over a 'lost decade.' 'It's time to bring Michigan back and lead once again,' she added, going on to stress the importance of job growth, lowering the cost of living, reviving the state's manufacturing sectors, giving taxpayers value for money and increasing government transparency, without going into specific policy details. Dixon also praised President Donald Trump, saying he is 'leading the way nationally' by 'delivering on his promises to secure the border, bring manufacturing jobs home and boost energy independence.' Originally from Naperville, Illinois, Dixon started out as a sales manager in her father's company Michigan Steel Inc, before moving into media after co-founding a conservative news site for students. She began her career in broadcast in 2018 when she was hired by Real America's Voice to anchor its show America's Voice Live on weekday afternoons. Following her unsuccessful gubernatorial run, she pivoted to podcasting in 2023 and has hosted The Tudor Dixon Podcast ever since. She has also frequently guested on Fox News and Fox Business as a contributor. Dixon had Trump's endorsement during her last campaign, as well as that of other MAGA personalities including Tulsi Gabbard, Elise Stefanik, Richard Grenell and the DeVos family, but nevertheless lost by 10 points to Whitmer, who is now term-limited out of serving again, granting the broadcaster a potential second chance. She will face competition, however, with Michigan's Republican Senate minority leader, Aric Nesbitt, having also declared his intention to run. Democrats including Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Lieutenant-Governor Garlin Gilchrist and Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson have also already announced, as has Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, who will campaign as an independent. The Senate race will be a battle to succeed the retiring Democrat Gary Peters. Dixon would have to challenge the former Republican representative Mike Rogers for their party's nomination, with Rogers already moving quickly to hire one of Trump's presidential campaign managers, Chris LaCivita, as an adviser. Rogers ran for the Senate last year but was narrowly beaten by Democrat Elissa Slotkin. A mother of four, an evangelical Christian and a breast cancer survivor, Tudor Dixon is also, more surprisingly, an amateur actress who has appeared in a number of low-budget horror films. Among the entries on her brief IMDB page are a bit part as the victim of cannibal zombies in the film Buddy BeBop vs the Living Dead (2009) and a recurring role as a sword-wielding British vampire in the TV show Transitions: The Series (2010-11).

US' Witkoff Says Trump and Putin Have Reached ‘Consensus' on Ukraine
President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff said the US and Russia have agreed that Moscow and Kiev should pause attacks on each other's energy infrastructure. He made his comments following a phone call between Trump and Putin on Tuesday. The diplomat had previously had a lengthy conversation with Putin in Moscow on March 13. The envoy highlighted that Putin had agreed to Trump's proposal to halt strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure for 30 days and backed a ceasefire in the sea. 'Up until recently, we really didn't have consensus around these two aspects – the energy and infrastructure ceasefire and the Black Sea moratorium on firing – and today we got to that place, and I think it's a relatively short distance to a full ceasefire from there,' Witkoff told Fox News' Sean Hannity on Tuesday evening. 'I'm certainly hopeful that the Ukrainians will agree to it. We have some details to work out, of course,' he added. 'I would commend President Putin for all he did today on that call to move his country close to a final peace deal,' the envoy said. 'And I would give all the credit to President Trump, his election, peace through strength, the perception that there are no alternatives, and the fact that a good peace and lasting peace are important for both sides.' 'It was these two great leaders coming together for the betterment of mankind,' Witkoff said. Official #Kremlin Readout of #TrumpPutinCall #trumpputinphonecall @TudorDixon @RichValdes @barrycunningham — Rebekah Irina Koffler (@rebekah0132) March 18, 2025 According to the Kremlin's readout of the call, Putin has 'immediately' ordered the Russian troops to halt attacks on Ukraine's energy sites and responded 'favorably' to the maritime truce proposal and took steps to begin talks to 'further work out specific details of such an agreement.' Trump posts on Truth Social about his phone call with Putin. Trump and Putin are committed to establishing a lasting peace, which will make the world a much safer place. The men in charge of the two largest nuclear arsenals on Earth, are on good terms. It's a start. — Clandestine (@WarClandestine) March 18, 2025 Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky told reporters on Tuesday that he supports a maritime ceasefire and a moratorium on strikes on energy facilities in principle but will wait for the American side to provide details about the arrangement. Witkoff told Fox News that the talks will continue in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Sunday. According to Reuters, it was unclear whether Ukraine would participate in the meeting.

Tudor Dixon considering bid for Senate, Michigan governor
Tudor Dixon, the Republican businessperson and conservative commentator who unsuccessfully ran for Michigan governor in 2022, is weighing another run for political office in 2026, but she hasn't decided which one: U.S. Senate or governor, again. 'I want to do the most good for our beloved state,' she wrote Tuesday on the social platform X. 'Both races present unique opportunities and different ways to benefit Michigan.' 'I will decide soon where my experience and talents would most benefit the state we love so dearly,' she added. In her statement, Dixon praised President Trump, who endorsed her failed campaign against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) three years ago, for actions taken since his return to the White House in January and reaffirmed her support. 'President Trump is leading the way nationally. He is delivering on his promises to secure the border, bring manufacturing jobs home and boost energy independence,' she said. 'I am committed to standing with President Trump to deliver on the America First agenda here in Michigan.' Trump bested Democratic nominee former Vice President Kamala Harris in the Midwestern state by about 80,000 votes in last year's election. A majority of Michiganders voted for former President Biden over Trump in the crucial swing state in 2020. Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) announced in January he won't seek another term in 2026. Whitmer, a potential 2028 presidential contender, cannot seek reelection as governor in 2026 because of the state's term limits. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
