LANSING– The Michigan Democratic Party released the following statement on behalf of Chair Lavora Barnes on Mike Pence’s upcoming trip to Sterling Heights:
“Mike Pence is coming to our state to spin Trump’s failed record, but Michiganders know the truth: Donald Trump has broken promise after promise to our communities and left us behind. Trump’s erratic COVID-19 response made Detroit a hotspot of a global pandemic and sent our economy spiraling downward. Now, almost 6,000 Michiganders are dead, unemployment is over 22%, and the state of Michigan faces billions in revenue shortfalls because of his disastrous leadership. Instead of leading Michiganders through this crisis, Trump has taken to Twitter to threaten the state’s federal funding and exacerbated the hardship our state currently endures. No amount of pandering and empty words can undo the damage done by Donald Trump’s failures and Michigan voters will hold him accountable in November.”
