Tim Walz stumps in Macomb County, promising to pass union-friendly legislation
MACOMB COUNTY, Mich. (FOX 2) - Vice presidential hopeful Tim Walz stumped in Michigan Friday, making a campaign stop in Macomb County and delivering remarks to assembled union members at the local community college.
He told supporters about his running mate's plan to pass union-friendly legislation, building the future for auto manufacturing, while hitting his Republican opponents for "manufacturing bulls***" during the campaign.
Walz also dinged Donald Trump for insulting Detroit during a speech in Detroit on Thursday.
"These guys don't give a damn about American workers," he said from a podium.
Friday's visit is Walz's ninth trip to Michigan and his first in Macomb County since being named to the Democratic ticket.
Michigan has been a busy spot for candidates, especially this week. Both Former President Trump and his running mate JD Vance were in the state this week as the election closes in. Walz was last in the state on Sept. 28 when he appeared at the Michigan vs. Minnesota football game in Ann Arbor.
