OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. (FOX 2) - President Donald Trump is coming to Metro Detroit, sources told FOX 2.
Big picture view:
On Monday, July 27, President Trump will be heading to Oakland County to rally as the state primaries heat up and early in-person voting begins.
Meanwhile, this originally would take place on the same day as the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge, which President Trump made earlier threats to block.
Dig deeper:
In February, Trump demanded in a social media post that Canada hand over at least half ownership of the new bridge to the U.S. government and accept other unspecified demands, part of his broader clashes with Canada over trade.
Canada financed the bridge’s construction. The project was negotiated by Rick Snyder, the former Republican governor of Michigan, and work has been underway since 2018 and cost close to $4.4 billion.
Gordie Howe Bridge update: Opening by end of month, sources say
The Gordie Howe International Bridge could see its grand opening by the end of the month. Two sources told the AP a deal is in place.
What's next:
Early in-person voting begins Saturday, weeks before the Aug. 4 primary.
