Former President Donald Trump and his freshly announced running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, held their first rally together in the battleground state of Michigan on Saturday.
Vance briefly spoke before introducing Trump, who talked to the crowd in Grand Rapids for close to two hours. It was Trump’s first time back on the campaign trail since surviving an assassination attempt at his rally in Butler, Pa., last weekend. The event was held indoors at the Van Andel Arena, and security was reported to be tighter.
Michigan is a key battleground state for Trump. He won the state by just over 10,000 votes in 2016, but President Biden flipped it blue in 2020.
Biden, meanwhile, is facing calls from a growing number of congressional Democrats and others in the party to step aside and make room for someone they think could beat Trump in the November election. Biden has been self-isolating at his beach house in Delaware this week after being diagnosed with COVID.
