Michigan Campaign Events | Speeches, Interviews, Town Halls

Bob King, the former president of the United Auto Workers union, nominated Bernie Sanders for president at the 2020 Democratic National Convention during the official Roll Call vote.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer delivered her 2020 DNC Convention speech from a local UAW hall in Lansing, Michigan. She used her speech to contrast Barack Obama's and Joe Biden's response to national crises with that of President Trump, drawing a clear distinction between the two Administrations. She also reminded the American people how Obama and Biden worked to save the American automobile industry that was on the verge of collapse early in his Administration.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer spoke at a press conference in Michigan to cover in detail the "Stay-Home" order she gave the state. She explained that the order will have Michigan residents stay in their homes for a minimum of three weeks in order to slow the spread of coronavirus. She also says the state of Michigan has not yet gotten what they need from the federal government, saying that President Donald Trump's most recent speech leaves all states on their own. Whitmer says that she has seen the best of people during these trying times and that makes her proud to be a Michigan resident.

Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Battle Creek, Michigan at the exact same time the House of Representatives was voting on two Articles of Impeachment against him. Trump railed against House Democrats for voting to impeach him in unusually personal terms, even for a President who is not known for his decorum. One of his most personal attacks on Democrats came when he lashed out at the late Rep. John Dingell's wife, who now holds his old seat, by claiming that Dingell was "looking up" from hell. The comment prompted a number of Republicans to encourage Trump to apologize.

2020 Democratic candidate, Senator Michael Bennet, joined hosts of Morning Joe one day after the second day of the second Democratic debate. He remarked that in order to win the Oval Office, the democratic presidential nominee must be able to win states like Colorado and Arizona.

2020 Democratic candidate, Senator Kamala Harris, told Morning Joe that her agenda in her campaign is focused on health care, jobs, as well as the concerns of the American people. Her interview came the morning after the second day of the second Democratic debate.
