Early voting is set to kick off in Michigan this Saturday, marking a crucial moment in the lead-up to the upcoming elections. Both political campaigns are closely eyeing Michigan as a potential game-changer in the electoral map.
In the 2020 election, Michigan favored Joe Biden by approximately 154,000 votes. However, it's important to note that the state also played a pivotal role in Donald Trump's victory in 2016, where he won by a narrow margin of less than 11,000 votes, breaking a streak of Democratic wins dating back to 1992.
Recent campaign events in Michigan have seen Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump making appearances. Harris is scheduled to meet with faith leaders in the state before addressing a Get Out the Vote event, rallying supporters to march to the polls and cast their votes.
Michigan is not the only state witnessing early voting activities. North Carolina and Georgia have also commenced their early voting processes earlier this week. North Carolina reported a strong turnout on the first day of early in-person voting, surpassing numbers from the 2020 election. Similarly, Georgia saw record-breaking participation as it opened its early in-person voting on Tuesday.
As the election season heats up, all eyes are on these key battleground states as voters exercise their right to participate in shaping the future of the nation.
