michigan autoworkers. thousands of job losses just in the state of michigan. kamala harris would rather task citizens and force you to buy electric vehicles made in china. donald trump wants to reward michigan autoworkers, he wants to give working people in this country a tax cut. they will buy a lot of michigan made automobiles. [applause] let's talk a little bit -- we talked about manufacturing, automobiles, the media will tell you, this is one area where kamala harris can't quite figure out what she thinks. whenever they stick a microphone in front of her face. she will actually brag about the fact that inflation is lower than it was when she took over. that's a lie. i would ask anybody to think about the fact that kamala harris' is bragging about inflation being lower. when you go to the grocery store does it feel like it is lower? are houses affordable? everywhere you look, prices are higher, things are more expensive, i grew up in a family where my grandma sometimes struggled to buy things she needed. she would bite nonprescription drugs so she could aff

gas prices and michigan are up 45%. home prices in michigan are 41% higher.ver 9% of credit card balances and 8% of auto loans are delinquent in this great state. that means fellow americans are suffering, need help, better leadership. in seven short days that is what we will give to our fellow americans. [crowd chanting "usa"] for the first time in 40 years, i am 40 years old, turned 40 a couple months ago. i used to say how bad i felt because i just turned 40. then someone who just turned 70 would say, shut the hell up about being mad about being 40 years old. but, for the first time in my lifetime, our fellow americans are saying they are worse off financially now than four years ago. the question is simple, are you better off now than you were four years ago? if, like a majority of our citizens the answers no, why not vote for change, the peace and prosperity of donald j. trump? i think the fact that so many of our fellow citizens are telling us they are worse off, that explains why kamala harris is running as far away as she can from the policies of joe

crafts manship and michigan workers.ust recount a couple of the bad things that has happened to the auto industry since kamala harris became our vice president. it would lay off 2500, the folks that are making the ram 1500 and those jobs are being destroyed. last year, general motors laid off 1300 workers at two michigan plants and ford is rolling back electric vehicle production. that is the record of kamala harris and that is the record of a person who is trying to destroy the michigan auto industry. here to the workers and families, my solemn promise when donald trump is in the white house you will have a fighter and people who will go to work in michigan auto factories every single day. and i have to say more bad news, i'm going to give unite mare fuel to make sure she doesn't become the president. her electric vehicle mandate trying to force every american to buy an electric vehicle. most of them made in china and would put 117,000 auto workers out of a job. isn't that crazy? an american leader, a person who is runn

, traverse city and then here in novi, michigan. touting his plans to boost the auto industry, specifically in michigan and trying to revive parts of detroit and curb immigration problems. the crowd was very excited to hear about his plans for immigration as he played some of the videos at his rally as well. we're days now into the election and if you can believe it. this is now coming to an end and things are tight in michigan, quinnipiac polls show that harris is leading 49 to 46% in vote e, hey, that's within the margin of error and could be anyone's game. and nationally, things are in a dead heat. the latest new york times and sienna polls, harris and trump tied 48-48, okay, not much time left to move the needle. former president trump says it's moving in the wrong direction under the biden-harris administration, and slamming harris for saying she wouldn't do anything different than biden. >> and i say to people we have a bigger problem from the enemy within and drives them crazy when i use that term, but we have an enemy from w

i will tell you this, the state of michigan and the people of michigan went to the polls and voted. they voted to make abortion legal, and they put it part of their constitution. our constitution. i won't do anything when i go back to the united states senate to undo the votes of the people, their position, their concession, their compassion when it comes to this issue. >> thank you so much, mr. rogers. ms. slotkin, you have 30 seconds for a rebuttal. rep. slotkin: mr. rogers voted 56 times for every bill, ban, and restriction on abortion that came in front of him. that is not misrepresenting. i am so sick of people who don't understand women's health, who don't understand reproductive rights, who don't understand that this is about the rights of our grandchildren having the same rights as their grandmother. saying one thing and doing another. michiganders do not believe him. he will not protect you. >> you have the final 30 seconds for rebuttal. mr. rogers: it is unfortunate she is taking the stone on something so completely untrue. i've stated my position clearly. if you care abou

in michigan.e policies are landmines. i think you saw the arab american mayor coming out in support of donald trump. there's a lot of tension in the democrat party between the israel question versus the palestine question. what that mayor said when he was endorsing trump is the trump isn't -- obviously supporting israel and his relapse right to defend itself but what the mayor said that was so interesting is we all want peace in the middle east so i think people are not betting on a candidate that's going to go on one side or the other but who can bring peace to the region and the peace record is good for donald trump, there were no wars started under his watch, and people are constantly hearing him talk if you vote for her you will get world war iii. i'm the only person who can bring peace in the world and the other question, of detroit's otto industry, you just heard kamala harris say we are going to make sure america, not china wins but if you put us on evs you make us dependent on china. here

and it runs through west michigan as well. increasingly cannot win statewide without waiting in west michigan, without winning in my district. the things that matter here are the things that matter at the kitchen table, the issues of economy, housing, affordable healthcare, and the issue of reproductive freedom. there is no more greater economic decision that a family can make then rather when, where, and how they are going to start a family. michigan codified the right to protect reproductive freedom with a ballot initiative in 2022. it is still top of mind for voters that that can be taken away with a nationwide abortion ban. i hear that all the time. >> congresswoman, one of the major issues in the state of michigan, even the thing that has to do with the automotive issues, we have seen trump really push ev's, some of which the biden/harris administration is requiring. could you talk about what is true and weigh in on the impact that is having on the polls? >> absolutely. michigan put the world on wheels and we will keep mo

[applause] it is hard to believe we've only got 33 days until the election. that's a good news, bad news situation because it means we have a limited amount of time to make our case to the american people that donald trump ought to be reelected president. the good news is only 33 more days for harris to gaslight the american people and that's a good thing. [applause] we of course had a debate last night, a vice presidential debate, i thought it went pretty well.

[cheers and applause] and he is 32 days out -- and these 32 days out from the election, it iimportant to remind people how we got here. donald trump handpicked members of the supreme court with the intention that they would overturn roe v. wade, and they did, and now more than one in three women in america lives in a state with an abortion and, many with no exceptions for rape and incest, which is immoral. when congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom -- [cheers and applause] as president of the united states, i will probably sign it into law. proudly.

this week 75,000 homes in michigan has a lot in 2020, biden won michigan by just over 154,000 votes in 2016, trump beat hillary clinton there by 10,704 votes. so every single vote in michigan is going to matter obviously, the harris campaign has a problem in michigan. harris went to michigan to try to meet with arab american leaders in recent weeks to talk about her plans. but it might be hard quite honestly to convince anyone like, mr. siblani, who thinks that october 7 was justified, and who praises terrorist groups that regularly chant death to america. and target civilians that the u.s considers to be terrorist but it is surely interesting that this man who expressed the support for hamas and hezbollah is pushing moves and voters that could end up helping this man donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states until our country's representatives ken figure out what the hell is going on politics makes strange bedfellows. >> indeed we'll be right back at seven on cnn is there any way to get a better price on have you checked sing

with michigan, we win michigan, we win the whole deal and we make america great again. early in person voting in michigan is now open statewide. i'm asking for you to go to votetrump.com right after this rally ends. you will see something. because you have the early vote, it used to be one day voting, paper ballot, voter identification. today it is illegal. the guy gavin newsom in california just signed a bill making it illegal to even ask a person for voter identification. they want to put you in jail. [booing] that is the next step. we will get this whole thing straightened out. it is crazy. even the democrats, you go to the democrats, they don't want that. they want voter id. they want proof of your country. in other words, are you a citizen of the country. that would be nice to have. gavin newsom in california, they signed it. i do not believe it. i thought it was april fools day. i said, are we in april? you are not allowed to ask a person whether or not they have voter id. if you do, you have broken the law. can you believe it? you will get arrested if you ask a p

in 2016 donald trump won michigan by what, 11,000 votes, 11,000 plus votes. this is going to be an issue for the democratic party and they know it, that's why they continue to send kamala harris to michigan. you've got the fact that donald trump is beating her and when i say beating, she's underperforming joe biden who everybody thought was going to lose, with working class whites, union workers who are largely in michigan, hispanics and african-americans, it's not looking so good for her whether it be michigan, wisconsin, or pennsylvania. now, i know that the numbers are going to be tight. i get that, but i think he's doing better than even the polling is showing right now. molly: david, bringing you in on that donald trump has tended to defy the polls out there, and michigan, when he won in 2016, that hadn't been seen since the '90s for a republican candidate so he's definitely made some inroads there, and where do you think that democrats stand right now? >> a few things that we have to remember is republicans have underperformed in every election since 20

this is michigan. you can see joe biden won michigan by more than 100,000 votes. let's focus on detroit though for a second, wayne county. all right. in wayne county, joe biden won big 38 points, but donald trump when 30% of the vote, 260,000 votes, that was actually better in 2020 than he did in 2016. he had 29% of the vote there and 228,000 votes. so donald trump actually improved in wayne county and detroit there. we'll see how insulting detroit impacts that going forward. i want to tell you you about where both candidates will be today though, because a few hours apart, they're both going to be an oakland county sort of suburbs of detroit. this is important. this may be where the 2020 election was decided in michigan and it might be, we're 2024 is as well. you can see president biden won in oakland county, the detroit suburb firms by about 14 points. okay. go back to 2016. and you can see hillary clinton won there, but just by eight points. so that increase for joe biden is what helped him push ahead in michigan, a state that trump won in 2016 but joe biden wo

>> eva mckend in ann arbor, michigan.nks so much here now congresswoman debbie dingell, democrat from michigan and supporter of vice president harris. so congresswoman, thanks so much for joining us. so you were one of the democrats sounding the alarm eight years ago, about hillary clinton's chances in michigan back in 2016, you were of course, proven correct are you as concerned today about vice president harris's chances in michigan? >> so i'm going to answered that differently. i don't believe either candidate has won michigan, but in to 16, nobody believed me. there is an acknowledgement by both campaigns how tight this presidential races nationally. and we are one of the competitive states. i really do believe at this point, we don't don't know who's going to win michigan. and it's going to be about voter turnout. and we are fighting for every vote right now and having everybody know their vote matters. >> so a little hot mic moment in michigan over the weekend, vice president harris was campaigning with your governo

it is acute in michigan. it is important across the country but given the numbers we just stated, that uncommitted vote of people who are dissatisfied with either joe biden or kamala harris' responses to this could make all the difference. tell me what is happened in the last 24 hours. >> i think you hit it on the head. it should make a difference in a state like michigan where there is a sizable muslim population, one that honestly can influence the vote in some of the democrat-leading cities in the state. over the last 24 hours you've seen increased engagement to muslim and arabic leaders here. they've long sought to facilitate direct engagement not just between harris and his latest but also senior leadership of her campaign and we seen that over the last 24 hours. they were able to have a virtual meeting with governor tim walz. we know that today right before her rally she spoke with some of these leaders and had conversations. she not only sought their perspectives but also communicated to them her effor

today she's in michigan. in michigan at the university of michigan, and i had a leading democrat talk to me and say, i'll tell you, she's not here enough, she's not doing enough. they're looking at where they can go, and just racing up and down, and this is like -- this is a really crazy time. i have been in the middle of these things and in a way it's like water torture, drip, drip, drip, get them out. it's craziness now. >> as europe, we're showing kamala harris, by the way in saginaw, michigan, cornings head lock, semiconductor next gen facility. she's talking to workers there, exactly what that michigan democrat was telling you she needs to do, and to the point that the governor was also making, we are seeing more ways arguably than ever trying to convince people to vote in this final week. the harris campaign put governor tim walz on a live stream, on a site, some people may not be familiar with called twitch, playing a video game against congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez, and it was "the new york t

we are very purple state here in michigan. it is always a close call. kamala harris is doing all the right things. and i think they will show up for her. >> getting out to vote for a few cities on thursday. let's compare the harris event to donald trump last night in detroit. his rally went off the rails when the microphones malfunctioned. even the former president wandering on stage for nearly 20 minutes. when the mic or backup, trump threatened not to pay the bill for the rally over the technical glitches. what do you make of what voters in your state witness that that event? >> the same thing they normally witness at a trump rally. just a lot of pettiness. anger and hostility. and a lot of incoherent rambling mostly. which is the exact opposite of what you see at a kamala harris event. right? there are people who are joyful, people who are looking forward toward the future. and people who are really excited to vote for their candidate. yes, i will say, there are a lot of people who are afraid of donald trump and want to make sure he gets nowhere near
