LANSING-The Michigan Democratic Party released the following joint statement on behalf of Chair Lavora Barnes and Calhoun County Democratic Party Chair Beth Kelly in response to Donald Trump’s announced rally in Battle Creek:
“Two rallies in two weeks is a clear sign Donald Trump is terrified of losing Michigan after over three years of breaking promise after promise to our voters. This failed president has time and again left Michigan families behind, fighting to strip them of health care, gut protections from pre-existing conditions, and slash funding for critical clean water programs while failing to revive our manufacturing economy.
“In Calhoun County, and everywhere across this state, we’re building a grassroots movement that’s going to hold Trump accountable by putting boots on the ground and speaking to voters each and every day about this president’s failures. Gimmicky rallies from a desperate president are no substitute for the organizing army we’ve built–– Donald Trump will learn that lesson the hard way next November.”
