President Trump told supporters at his Thursday rally in Freeland, Michigan, that he was counting on them to ensure that he wins the state in November.
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is "the worst presidential candidate in the history of presidential politics," Trump declared, before asking the crowd, "Can you imagine if I lost to him? I'd have to say I lost to the worst candidate ever put up. Don't do that to me Michigan. Don't do that." Trump won Michigan in 2016, but recent polls show Biden leading in the state.
