Vice President Mike Pence To Visit Macomb County Thursday

MACOMB COUNTY, MI — Vice President Mike Pence is planning a visit to Michigan on Thursday, including stops at a pair of Macomb County businesses.

Pence’s travel plans include lunch at Engine House, a bar owned by two Detroit firefighters, MLive reported. After the stop in Detroit, Pence will tour Chardam Gear Company and visit Casadei Structural Steel Inc., where he will deliver remarks before returning to Washington D.C.

“In 2016, Donald Trump promised that revitalizing American manufacturing would be one of his top priorities in the White House and since taking office, he has delivered on that promise for the hardworking men and women of Michigan," Michigan GOP Chairwoman Laura Cox said. "I am very grateful that Vice President Pence will get to see two great Michigan manufacturers in action this Thursday, as our state begins its road to reopening.”

The event is part of the president's "Great American Comeback Tour." He made a prior tour stop in Pennsylvania on Friday. Additional details, such as whether the stops will be open to the public, have not been released.

Pence's planned visit comes after President Donald Trump visited Michigan in May. Michigan figures to be a contested state for Trump, after recently released polls suggested he trailed Democratic Nominee Joe Biden by 16 points, according to the Detroit Free Press.
