Trump and Biden set to visit Michigan over the weekend

President Trump and Democratic rival Joe Biden are targeting the battleground state of Michigan with a barrage of campaign stops in the days leading up to the election.

Trump plans numerous appearances in the state over the next four days.

The president holds an airport rally in Oakland County today (Friday), his second time in Michigan this week.

He’s also scheduled to hit Sterling Heights in swing Macomb County Sunday before campaigning Monday in conservative Grand Rapids.

That’s where Trump held his final rally in 2016 an event that helped him win Michigan by just under 11-thousand votes – his narrowest margin of victory en route to the White House.

Democratic nominee Joe Biden counters on Halloween Saturday by making a joint appearance in Michigan with former President Obama and pushing for a high voting turnout among black, Hispanic and younger voters who failed to show up in large numbers four years ago.
