VP Kamala Harris will make stops in Michigan this weekend

Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris will attend a church service in Detroit on Sunday and rally young voters at Michigan State University as part of a campaign across Michigan.

Two days before Tuesday’s presidential election, Harris plans to make four stops in Michigan, according to a senior campaign official who declined to be identified to provide information on yet-to-be-announced details of the trip.

The Democratic nominee will speak at a church and visit a restaurant in Detroit, a Democratic stronghold and the state’s largest city. Harris will also stop in Pontiac before the evening event in East Lansing, where MSU is located, the official said.

Harris held on a big demonstration at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Monday evening.

Rolling out students in East Lansing and Ann Arbor could be key to Harris’ hopes of winning Michigan. East Lansing is also located in the hotly contested 7th Congressional Districtwhere former Secretary of State Curtis Hertel, a Democrat from East Lansing, and Tom Barrett, a Republican from Charlotte, are vying for an open seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Harris is locked in a competitive race for Michigan’s 15 electoral votes with Republican former President Donald Trump. Michigan is one of seven battleground states expected to decide whether Harris or Trump will lead the country for the next four years.

Trump visits Michigan on Friday and will… meeting at Macomb Community College in Warren.

A poll of 600 likely Michigan voters in late Octobercommissioned by The Detroit News and WDIV-TV (Channel 4), found that Harris defeated Trump by 3 percentage points, 46.7%-43.7%, with 7.3% of participants saying they planned on a vote for a third party candidate. Another 2.1% indicate that they have not yet made a decision.

The survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Four years ago, Democrat Joe Biden defeated Trump in Michigan by 154,188 votes, or 3 percentage points, 51%-48%.
