Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz visited Macomb County on Friday. He made stops in Warren and Utica.
“When Vice President Harris and I are elected, we’ll have your backs just like you had our backs every step of the way,” he told a cheering crowd of United Auto Workers members.
In the morning, the Minnesota governor spoke to the union members at Macomb Community College in Warren.

He discussed a number of pro-labor policies he and Vice President Kamala Harris plan to implement if she’s elected president.
“When we fight together, we win,” Walz shouted.
Right after this speech, Walz met with a group of Black men at Vino and Vibes Wine Bar in Utica. This political season, there’s been talk that Black men largely aren’t supporting the Harris campaign.
“Frankly, the thing is Black men, we’re not necessarily getting out to vote because we need to have things to get us out there. We have had a system, which they’ve, frankly, forgotten about us,” voter Devin Woodruff told 7 News Detroit. “So, it’s really cool to see that Vice President Harris and Governor Walz are being intentional with having circles and whatnot of having these conversations.”
