Michigan is a key battleground state in this year’s presidential election with 15 electoral votes at stake. Voters are also weighing in on an important U.S. Senate race.
Two recent polls show Vice President Kamala Harris leading former President Donald Trump in Michigan by a slim two to three percentage points. Joe Biden won the state in 2020. Democrats consider it a critical part of their election plan, often referred to as the “Blue Wall” in the Midwest.
Trump is hoping to flip the state. He has a rally scheduled for Friday, Sept. 27, in Walker, Michigan and a town hall in Warren.
