Former President Donald Trump returns to Michigan ahead of midterms

Trump to headline rally in Waterford Township on Saturday night

Former president's visit comes just weeks before the 2022 midterm elections

Former President Donald Trump will be in Michigan this weekend to address supporters ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.

Trump is scheduled to speak at a rally in Waterford Township on Saturday night. The event will mark his first trip to the state since he left office in January 2021.

Trump's visit comes as Republicans are hoping to gain control of the House and Senate in the upcoming midterm elections. The former president has been campaigning for Republican candidates across the country, and his visit to Michigan is seen as a sign of the importance of the state to the GOP.

Democrats, meanwhile, are hoping to use Trump's visit to energize their base and turn out voters in November. They argue that Trump's policies were harmful to the country and that he is a threat to democracy.
