Hillary Clinton heading to Michigan on Wednesday
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is heading to Michigan next week, just two days after Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump delivers an economic speech to the Detroit Economic Club.
According to sources familiar with her visit, who weren't authorized to speak for the campaign, Clinton will do a big-ticket fundraiser in Birmingham and another, more public event in southeast Michigan on Wednesday, although details have not been worked out yet. The Clinton campaign would not confirm that she is headed to the state.
With the political party conventions wrapped up and the general election season well underway, the presidential tickets are focusing on a few key swing states, including Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Florida, Virginia and now Michigan.
Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence, the governor of Indiana, was in Grand Rapids and Novi last week. Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine will be in Grand Rapids to help open a campaign office on Friday, and Trump is scheduled to speak to the Detroit Economic Club at the Renaissance Center on Monday.
