With just a few days until Michigan's Democratic presidential primary, candidates are setting their sights on trying to win the state's 147 delegates. Both Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden have several campaign events scheduled in Michigan in the final days before the election.
Biden's campaign announced Thursday that former candidate, and current Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar will be holding three events for Biden in Michigan--one of them being in Grand Rapids.
Klobuchar ended her run for the White House on Monday, and then she endorsed Joe Biden. The senator will be hosting two events on Friday on the east side of the state, then she'll be holding a Get Out the Vote rally in Grand Rapids on Saturday morning.
It will happen at Creston Brewery, located at 1504 Plainfield Ave. NE, at 10:15 a.m.
Biden will also be making a stop in Detroit on Monday.
Sanders has four rallies planned before the primary: Detroit on Friday, Dearborn on Saturday, Grand Rapids on Sunday and Ann Arbor on Sunday evening.
In 2016, Sanders won the state of Michigan, defeating Hillary Clinton in the primary by about 20,000 votes. But in this election, Biden gathered up some last-minute, significant endorsements.
Thursday, the former vice president was endorsed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Rep. Elissa Slotkin and he received endorsements from the Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News editorial boards. Whitmer is also a co-chair on his campaign.
Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is also still in the race. She held an event in Detroit on Tuesday.
Michigan's primary is on March 10. Other states voting on Tuesday include Idaho, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota and Washington.
