At a virtual rally last (SAT) night, Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden reminded Michiganders they have a role to play if they want to see a blue wave in November.

The online rally was organized by the Blue Brigade. That’s a political activist group in the Greater Lansing Area. Biden was joined by Democratic elected leaders including Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and Senators Gary Peters and Debbie Stabenow. He shared a message from his home in Delaware. 

“The soul of America is at stake in this election," said Biden. "That’s the reason I decided to run. That's why I stand united with every single Democrat in our shared mission to beat Donald Trump and restore decency, dignity and leadership to the White House.”

Democrats are relying on Michigan voters to turn out this election. President Donald Trump narrowly won this state in 2016.
