Biden won Michigan in suburbs and cities

With increased support in urban regions such as Detroit and Grand Rapids, Joe Biden called Michigan for Democrats, offsetting President Donald Trump’s strong turnout in rural and ex-urban areas.

The 146,000 voting margin of Biden, 2.7 percentage points, was driven by gains in large, voting-rich counties such as Oakland near Detroit and Kent, including Grand Rapids, amid a total of 5.5 million state-wide voters.

Biden won by 14 points in Oakland, defeating the 8-point advantage of Hillary Clinton in 2016. In Kent, Biden achieved almost 6 points after Trump won by 3 points four years ago.
