Watch: Kamala Harris holds rally in Flint, after campaign stop in Metro Detroit
(FOX 2) - Vice President Kamala Harris made multiple stops in Michigan on Friday, pressing on in the presidential race that is now a month out from the election.
Harris first spoke at the fire department in Redford Township, delivering remarks to local union members as she seeks to shore up working class citizens in Michigan and in Wayne County, the biggest in Michigan.
She catered her speech around labor support before criticizing her opponent, Donald Trump, who advocated for firing striking workers and lacking a plan for health care, despite saying he would repeal the Affordable Care Act.
In Flint she had another labor-themed rally introduced by the Local UAW president where she also took some shots at former President Donald Trump's claims about EV mandates.
"Contrary to what my opponent is suggesting, I will never tell you what kind of car you have to drive, but here's what I will do. I will invest in communities like Flint. Flint, which helped build the auto industry and the UAW," she said. "We will retool existing factories, hire locally and work with unions to create good paying jobs, including jobs that do not require a college degree,"
She has already visited the state five times this cycle, stumping in Detroit, Romulus, and Farmington Hills, where she participated in a town hall with Oprah Winfrey.
Michigan is an important state for Democrats, representing the party's "blue wall" and the most likely path to victory in the electoral college. Her visit follows Trump's rally in Saginaw on Thursday, where he spoke to supporters at the local college.
