Trump is returning to Michigan with hopes of repeating the battleground success he found in 2016Trump is returning to Michigan with hopes of repeating the battleground success he found in 2016Donald Trump is set to appear in Michigan on Sunday evening as he looks to reclaim territory that helped propel him to the White House but slipped from his grasp four years later. The former president is scheduled to speak in suburban Detroit, where he lost ground between 2016 and 2020 and would need to win it back if he becomes the 2024 Republican nominee.
