Trump Hosting Town Hall In MI Next Week

FLINT, MI — Former President Donald Trump will hold a town hall in Michigan next week, according to campaign officials.

The town hall will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Dort Financial Center in Flint.

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders will moderate the event, which will largely be focused on the auto industry and the economy.

"The auto industry is the backbone of Michigan’s economy, and Kamala Harris’ actions have only shown that she will destroy it," Trump campaign officials said in a statement. "If Kamala Harris has her way with a gas-powered car ban, Michigan will lose, at minimum, nearly 40,000 jobs."

Trump has been in Michigan a lot lately, including his last stop in late August when he visited Potterville and spoke about the economy.

The event will come just days after the first Harris-Trump debate. Though the candidates hardly mentioned Michigan, there were several key topics that were tied to Michigan.

Trump's visit will also come just days after Democratic vice presidential candidate and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz stopped in Michigan. He was in Grand Rapids on Thursday and was scheduled to visit Lansing Friday morning.

"Donald Trump failed Michigan workers and killed Michigan jobs as President—and on Tuesday, Michiganders will see the same thing they saw on the debate stage: an unhinged, angry old man who is only focused on himself, and doesn’t have a single solution to offer to make their lives better, President of Communications Director for the Michigan Harris-Walz Campaign Alyssa Bradley said in a statement ahead of Trump's visit.

"Instead, Trump’s Project 2025 agenda would raise costs on middle-class families by nearly $4,000 a year, send inflation skyrocketing, and send jobs overseas, just like he did last time. Only one candidate in this race has a record of creating jobs in Michigan and has real plans to lower costs for families, and that’s Kamala Harris," she added.

Vice President Kamala Harris was last in Michigan on Labor Day when she spoke to a group of union leaders and workers in Detroit.
