Guess who's making a comeback in Michigan? Yep, you guessed it! Former President Donald Trump is hitting up the state next week, despite a trial heating up in New York over alleged election shenanigans from 2016. The buzz is that he's heading to a Saginaw County airport hangar in Freeland on Wednesday, May 1st, at 6 p.m. for a campaign gig. And guess what? You can be there too, but you'll need to snag some tickets first!
This visit comes hot on the heels of Trump's recent trip to Grand Rapids on April 2, where he dished out his thoughts on immigration. He made some eyebrow-raising comments, like claiming that other countries are shipping off their prison and mental institution folks to the U.S. and suggesting a spike in violent crime, even though the numbers show the opposite trend. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is grappling with a surge in undocumented immigrants trying to cross the southern border.
Remember Trump's last stop in Freeland back in September 2020? That was right before the election that he ended up losing to Biden. He got a bit carried away with his success stories about reviving Michigan's auto industry, boasting about opening multiple auto plants, which turned out to be a bit of a stretch. The industry actually shed jobs during his term, even before COVID-19 came into play.
Trump's visit also follows a recent U.S. Supreme Court hearing where he's being accused of trying to flip the 2020 election results. He's also got a court date in New York City, facing charges of cooking the books to cover up a hefty payment to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. And if that's not enough, he's been named as an unindicted co-conspirator in a Michigan case involving election electors.
Polls show Trump currently leading Biden in Michigan, but the gap is closing. Biden has also been making his rounds in Michigan, with a low-key visit to Saginaw in March and some meetups with UAW supporters in Warren. Looks like the battle for Michigan is heating up again!
