Trump was then silent about\u00a0Dixon until now, after months of heightened suspense among the five candidates, who all competed fiercely for Trump\u2019s endorsement.<\/p>\n<p>To underscore the importance of Trump\u2019s endorsement, a recent Detroit News-WDIV TV poll taken two weeks before Aug. 2 found 38 percent of likely GOP primary voters remaining undecided.<\/p>\n<p>This is significant because according to the poll, 63 percent of undecided voters said Trump\u2019s endorsement is either very important or somewhat important in them making up their minds.<\/p>\n<p> Soldano <\/p>\n<p>One of Dixon\u2019s four rivals, Garrett Soldano\u2014currently in fourth place\u2014had recently publicly advised Trump to stay out of the very close Michigan governor\u2019s race to avoid angering the party\u2019s grassroots voters who may be supporting candidates other than Trump\u2019s pick.<\/p>\n<p>Following Trump\u2019s endorsement of Dixon, Soldano said in a statement, \u201cFrom what I know about President Trump, he likes winners.
