Musician Ted Nugent believes Michigan will end its six-year run of voting Democrat in Tuesday's presidential election, saying "the tide has finally turned."
During an appearance on "The Joe Pags Show" Monday, Nugent — an outspoken conservative — said Michigan is destined to reclaim its red state status.
"I think Donald Trump is correct, that the system is rigged, the media is so entrenched in the leftist agenda," Nugent said. "Yes, I believe Michigan can become a red state tomorrow."

Nugent, who was born in Michigan, said he was at a Trump rally Sunday night in Detroit. He will link up with the Republican nominee late Monday evening in Grand Rapids for Trump's final rally before Election Day.
"I'm going to play the National Anthem like I mean it for all those flag-draped coffins where the warriors of the U.S. military sacrificed their lives for the U.S. Constitution, while their commander-in-chief is violating it," Nugent said. "I believe that the tide has finally turned . . . Michigan is a red state, and I believe that tomorrow we will return to that glory."
Nugent added the Supreme Court is "the pivotal issue" of the presidential campaign. There is currently one vacant seat on the court. Others could open up over the next eight years.
"Everybody is focusing on what Hillary Clinton will do to the Supreme Court," he said. "She will turn it into a circus, an anti-Constitutional, anti-freedom, anti-American, anti-self defense circus. We all know it, we all were scared to death that that's what will happen.
"We've got to vote for Donald Trump."
