President Joe Biden will visit the private home of one of his supporters in Saginaw, Michigan, on Thursday and participate in a campaign organizing meeting there as he works to build his re-election infrastructure in a key battleground state.
The visit to Saginaw comes amid a series of campaign trips by Biden as the general election progresses. In the past week, he will have made stops in Pennsylvania, Georgia, New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Michigan, and more trips are planned for the coming days.
In each location, he has paid close attention to the on-the-ground organization that his campaign says he is strengthening as his rematch with Donald Trump progresses.
The president's campaign recently said it was hiring 350 new employees and opening 100 new offices as part of a month-long operations surge. They say Biden and other top officials, including the vice president, are “hiring the rank and file army that will carry us to victory in November.”
In Saginaw, with a high concentration of black and Latino voters, Biden hopes to reconstitute the coalition that helped him reach the White House in 2020.
He will make comments that will expose “the stark contrast between his agenda of reducing costs for Michiganders and Donald Trump's attacks on working families in the state,” according to a campaign official.
Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris will visit a Planned Parenthood clinic in Minnesota on Thursday as the Biden-Harris campaign continues to highlight an issue, reproductive rights, that the campaign believes will galvanize moderate voters in November.
Harris' visit is believed to be the first by a sitting president or vice president to an abortion provider.
