Trump plans Michigan campaign visit ahead of midterms

President Donald Trump said he plans to campaign in Michigan about a week and a half before the November midterms, as Republicans seek to win the state’s open Senate seat and governor’s race; the timing and location of the visit have not been announced. A previously considered Michigan trip was called off, and Trump’s planned appearance comes amid concerns about his low approval ratings and the potential impact of his campaigning. Trump also rallied in Alabama for Republican candidates, including Senate nominee Rhett Marques and gubernatorial candidate Tommy Tuberville, and said he would return for a football game. Democrat Doug Jones, Tuberville’s opponent, criticized Tuberville for appearing with Trump instead of debating and argued Alabama voters deserve to hear directly from both candidates.
