(CBS-DETROIT) – Former President Donald Trump returns to Michigan this week for the first time since his ‘hush money’ conviction.
Trump will hold a roundtable discussion at Detroit’s 180 Church, located at 13660 Stansbury Avenue, on June 15 at 4 p.m. The doors open at 1:00 PM.
The former president will also deliver a speech this weekend in Detroit at the People Convention, held by Turning Point Action. The conservative organization’s mission is to “energize the conservative base through grassroots activism and provide voters with the necessary resources to elect true conservative leaders,” according to its website.
No further information is known at this time about the roundtable or who will participate.
“President Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States of America, will visit Detroit to hear from community members,” the former president’s campaign said in a news release. “Trump will discuss how Joe Biden failed the great people of Detroit and the state of Michigan.”
President Biden and Trump have both Visited Michigan several times this year to gather votes in the swing state ahead of the November election. The former president last visited Michigan in May, marking his third visit to the state in 2024. He spoke in Grand Rapids and focused his discussion about immigration.
This is his first visit to the state since he was found guilty of all 34 crimes in his ‘hush money’ criminal trial.
Mr. Biden was last in Detroit on May 19 when he spoke at the NAACP Fight for Freedom Dinner. Vice President Kamala Harris was in town Saturday night for the Michigan Democratic Party’s annual Legacy Dinner.
Trump and Mr. Biden remain neck-and-neck nationwide and in battleground states, with a majority saying the former president’s conviction has no impact on their decision, according to a recent CBS News poll. The poll also found that Democrats and Republicans in battleground states are equally likely to say they will definitely vote in the election.
