Will Trump’s impeachment sway voters in the key state of Michigan?
Polls consistently show the president trailing top Democrats in the state, which he won in 2016 – but the impact of impeachment is difficult to predict
As the historic impeachment vote played out in Washington last week, Donald Trump stood in front of a raucous audience at a rally in Battle Creek, Michigan, and relayed an anecdote from the 2016 election day that fired up the baying crowd.
He and Hillary Clinton had each rolled into the crucial swing state for their final campaign stops hours before the first ballots were cast. Clinton drew a measly audience of “500 people” to her prime-time rally, according to the president’s version of events. Conversely, he drew 32,000 supporters to a Grand Rapids arena despite not taking the stage until 1am.
