President Donald Trump will be in mid-Michigan this evening for a campaign rally at an airport just north of Saginaw.

The first of several thousand of the president’s supporters started lining up late last night.

This part of the state played a pivotal role in his winning Michigan by a little more than 10- thousand votes in 2016.

Recent polls have shown democratic nominee former Vice President Joe Biden leading in the state.

Biden met with unionized auto workers and steelworkers in suburban Detroit yesterday.  His wife Dr. Jill Biden, is scheduled to visit the state next week.
