Overview

  • President Trump will hold a rally in Macomb County, Michigan, on Tuesday to commemorate his first 100 days back in office, one day before the milestone.
  • This will be Trump's first major rally since his January inauguration and his first visit to Michigan since narrowly defeating Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
  • Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's attendance at the rally remains unconfirmed, following recent discussions with Trump about the future of Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Macomb County.
  • The rally underscores Trump's focus on Michigan, a critical battleground state he flipped in 2024 after losing it in 2020.
  • Later in the week, Trump will travel to Rome for the funeral of Pope Francis, marking his first overseas trip of his second term.
