Trump, Walz to return to Michigan in campaign's final days

Craig Mauger, The Detroit News on

Published in Political News

DETROIT — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will hold his campaign second rally in five weeks on Friday at Macomb Community College in Warren.

Trump's campaign announced the upcoming visit with six days remaining before Tuesday's presidential election, in which voters will decide whether Trump, the former president, or Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris leads the country for the next four years.

Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, will also be making stops in Michigan on Friday as part of what their campaign described as an "early vote blitz."

On Friday, Walz will speak at an event at 12:45 p.m. in Detroit, at a 3:30 p.m. rally in Flint and at a 7:25 p.m. rally in Traverse City, according to the Harris campaign.

"The Harris-Walz campaign is encouraging Michiganders to make a plan to vote early," a press release about the visit said.

Early, in-person voting opened statewide in Michigan on Saturday. As of Wednesday, about 2.2 million Michigan residents had already voted, either in person or through an absentee ballot, according to the Secretary of State's office.

Detroit election officials reported seeing the most single-day turnout on Tuesday for early voting since the city launched it on Oct. 19, one week before the most municipalities opened early voting centers. Early voting continues through Nov. 3.

 

Trump will speak at 4:30 p.m. Friday at Macomb Community College. He is scheduled to hold a rally that night in Milwaukee.

"Michigan prides itself on being the auto capital of the world, and it’s the backbone of Michigan’s economy," a statement from the Trump campaign said. "President Donald J. Trump and Sen. (JD) Vance have shown time and time again their dedication and support for rebuilding the American auto industry."

Trump last held a rally at Macomb Community College on Sept. 27. Vance stumped for votes Tuesday in Saginaw County and Holland.

Michigan is expected to be among seven battleground states that decide whether Trump or Harris is the next president.

A late October poll of 600 likely Michigan voters, commissioned by The Detroit News and WDIV-TV (Channel 4), found Harris was beating Trump by 3 percentage points, 46.7%-43.7%, with 7.3% of the participants saying they planned to vote for a third-party candidate. Another 2.1% said they were undecided. The survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
