According to the Harris-Walz campaign, Walz will speak at a campaign rally in Grand Rapids on Thursday and visit Lansing on Friday, Sept. 13, which is expected to kick off through eight battleground states for the Harris-Walz campaign.

Walz visited Michigan for two days last month at the Detroit Metro Airport in Romulus and at a UAW hall in Wayne, while Harris visited Northwestern High School in Detroit on Labor Day.

Local 4 did a joint poll with The Detroit News, which found that Trump had a 1.2% lead over Harris in Michigan through the end of August.

The survey also showed that 44.7% of state voters supported Trump, 43.5% supported Harris, and 7% selected a third-party candidate, while 5% remained undecided.
