Gretchen Whitmer, while Trump has appeared in the state 14 times across this year.
How Michigan voted in 2016 and 2020
The state has swung in its support of presidents over the last three election cycles, voting for President Biden in 2020, Trump in 2016 and former President Barack Obama in 2012.

A CBS News poll conducted in early September showed Harris had a slight edge over Trump in Michigan, 50% to 49%, within the margin of error.
