Former President Donald Trump will headline the Turning Point Action (TPA) conference in Michigan on Saturday as he campaigns for the 2024 election.
Trump and President Joe Biden secured nominations for the Republican and Democratic parties, respectively, of which they won the majority of the state’s primaries as they seek reelection this year. Polls so far have shown that the effects will be similar as the two pairs are statistically tied at the poll maximum or have only a marginal advantage.
On Saturday, the former president is expected to headline TPA’s “People’s Convention” in Detroit. Michigan is a battleground state for the 2024 election, with Biden winning the state with 2. 8% in 2020 against Trump.
The event is scheduled to take place at the Huntington Place Convention Center. While doors open to participants starting at 9:30 a. m. m. , the former president is expected to serve the crowd until approximately 6:00 p. m. m. watch the occasion broadcast live on the Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) website. In the meantime, TPA members can view the exhibit on Charlie Kirk’s website. Kirk is the founder and president of Turning Point USA. In addition, 7 News Detroit also plans to air Trump’s campaign comments.
Newsweek reached out to the Trump crusade email for comment.
Saturday is the second day of the convention, organized through the nonprofit Turning Point USA, which promotes conservative politics. On Friday, Kirk hosted several other Republican and conservative leaders, including South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. who withdrew from the 2024 presidential race in January and subsidized Trump.
While it’s unclear exactly what Trump is expected to talk about, it will be the first time he has spoken in the city since his supporters flocked to the same conference center in 2020, which at the time was called TCF Center, in an attempt to “stop the Earl” in an attempt to cancel the 2020 election. since they believed that they had been stolen.
Thousands of Trump supporters stormed the construction of the U. S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in an effort to prevent the effects of the 2020 presidential election from being rated in Biden’s favor. Trump, without evidence, said the election had been stolen from him through widespread fraud. .
In August 2023, Trump was indicted on 4 counts through the Department of Justice (DOJ) in connection with the riot, adding conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to obstruct due process; obstruct or attempt to obstruct an official proceeding; and conspiracy against rights. Trump has pleaded not guilty and said the charges against him are politically motivated.
According to a poll released last week, Biden leads Trump in critical states, as those states will play a key role in determining election results through the Electoral College, which assigns each state a set number of electoral votes based on its population. . . A presidential candidate will have to download 270 electoral votes to win, and winning the national popular vote does not guarantee success. Polls conducted in battleground states would likely be more revealing than those conducted in national ballots.
A CBS ballot released last Sunday via YouGov showed Biden leading Trump in key states at 50%, compared to Trump’s 49% in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. in the United States and 1,615 registered voters, it took place from June 5 to 7 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3. 8% among registered voters.
However, in a national comparison, the vote shows Trump leading with 50 percent, compared to Biden’s 49 percent.
Update 6/15/24, 5:48 p. m. ET: This article has been updated to reflect the new time Trump is expected to speak.
