Trump to make another campaign stop in Michigan this week
(CBS DETROIT) – Former President Donald Trump is returning to Michigan for a rally this week.
According to Trump’s campaign, he will be in Saginaw at 3 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 3. Officials say the former president will deliver remarks at the Ryder Center for Health and Physical Education at Saginaw Valley State University.
Trump recently spoke at FALK Production in Walker, Michigan, last week and traveled to Macomb Community College where he hosted a town hall. His running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, visited Michigan last week ahead of the vice presidential debate hosted by CBS News on Oct. 1.
Meanwhile, Trump’s opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, held a campaign event hosted by Oprah Winfrey in Metro Detroit earlier this month.
On Monday, a man was charged after he allegedly claimed he had C4 explosives in his car and sped through a security checkpoint at Trump’s rally in Walker.
Steven William Nauta has been charged with making a false threat of terrorism, possession of bombs with unlawful intent, fleeing a police officer and resisting or obstructing a police officer, according to the Walker Police Department. He has pleaded not guilty to each count, according to a court official.
Nauta’s plea of not guilty comes on the same day that Ryan Wesley Routh, who allegedly sat outside of Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, with a rifle while Trump was golfing, pleaded not guilty to charges against him, including attempting to assassinate a political candidate.

Poor Showing From Spartan Rival Michigan Not Even its Worst News
The Michigan State Spartans have had their fair share of injuries piling up this season. They have lost several key players on defense, including a crucial leader in do-it-all defensive back Dillon Tatum.
On offense, the Spartans have lost key skill players at wide receiver. The offensive line suffered a massive blow when they lost Gavin Broscious. The Spartans had to start a true freshman in Rakeem Johnson against Ohio State.
Their rival, Michigan, is suffering some bad injury luck as well. USA Today highlighted “mounting injuries” among their takeaways from the Wolverines’ abysmal showing against Minnesota on Saturday.
“We didn’t see Week 4 stars Will Johnson and Josaiah Stewart end up playing,” USA Today’s Isaiah Hole wrote. “Makari Paige and Myles Hinton both ended up getting injured in-game. The safety depth is suddenly a concern with Rod Moore already with a long-term injury, Wesley Walker and Jaden Mangham out, and then Paige getting the injury. This game could have looked differently if everyone was healthy, but injuries are a part of football and Michigan is lucky it escaped despite being so shorthanded.”
Johnson suffered a shoulder injury in the Wolverines’ win over USC. Johnson might be their best player and the best cornerback/defensive back in the country. CBS Sports’ Blake Brockenmeyer ranked Johnson the No. 11 best player in college football entering the 2024 season.
“Big-time No. 1 type of cornerback with range and the ability to match up vs. a No. 1 receiver,” Brockenmeyer wrote. “Johnson was a force last season in the playoffs when it mattered the most and will be a top draft pick after the season. Johnson has excelled in both zone and press coverage and has not only fluid hips but the ability to play the ball in the air as well as anyone in the country.
Safety Rod Moore, the hero of last season’s Wolverine victory against the Buckeyes, is out for the season with an ACL injury. Jaden Mangham, a former Spartan, has been out with an injury for a bit of time now too.
The Wolverines are growing thin in their defensive backfield. The Spartans have a vertical passing attack. The clash in Ann Arbor could get more interesting should the Wolverines’ injury woes persist.

Kamala Harris ‘Underwater’ in Internal Polls: Michigan Rep
Michigan Rep. Elissa Slotkin warned that her campaign’s internal polling had her party’s presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris “underwater” in the Midwestern state—a crucial swing state that former President Donald Trump won in 2016 but lost in 2020, according to an Axios report. “I’m not feeling my best right now about where we are on Kamala Harris in a place like Michigan,” Slotkin told donors on a virtual call last Wednesday. Slotkin told donors on the fundraising call that “we have her underwater in our polling.” The most recent New York Times/Siena poll shows the Democratic nominee still ahead—but only by a single percentage point. It is unclear if Harris is losing support in Michigan, however, the state is home to the largest Arab-American population in the U.S., and representatives from the state’s “Uncommitted” campaign previously challenged President Joe Biden during the Democratic Primary due to his campaign’s policies on supporting Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza. Over 100,000 Democratic primary voters ended up casting an uncommitted ballot. Delegates from the campaign recently declined to endorse Harris in the presidential election, the Detroit Free Press reported, while also refusing to endorse her Republican rival.
