Harris Making Campaign Stop In Detroit On Labor Day

DETROIT — Vice President Kamala Harris will be making her second campaign stop in Detroit within the last month, according to news reports.

Harris plans to be in Detroit on Labor Day, though officials have not exactly revealed where in the city she will be, according to news reports.

Although details about Harris's stop in Detroit were still unknown Wednesday morning, her Monday visit comes on the 2024 Detroit Labor Day parade, which is an event that often attracts Democratic political figures.

Moreover, the stop comes as part of a "Labor Day blitz," which will focus on workers and unions across multiple swing states, according to news reports.

Harris last visited the Detroit area earlier this month when she spoke to roughly 15,000 people inside a hangar at Detroit Metro Airport in Romulus.

Former President Donald Trump was in Detroit last week when he spoke to hundreds of National Guard officers at the Huntington Place.

"We’ve never been closer to World War III than we are right now," Trump said. "It’s a terrible thing."

In 2020, President Joe Biden won Michigan by about 147,000 votes, or 3 percentage points (51 percent to 48 percent) over Trump. But Trump won Michigan in 2016 when he narrowly beat Democrat Hillary Clinton 10,704 votes or 47.5 percent to 47.3 percent. It was also the first time a Republican nominee had won Michigan since George H.W. Bush in 1988.
