Vice President Kamala Harris will be in Detroit on Monday for a Labor Day event, her presidential campaign confirmed.
Details of the event were not released, but unions — whose members are a key voting bloc — hold an annual parade through Detroit on Labor Day morning, a tradition that goes back to 1915.
Democratic politicians have been a fixture at the event.
President Joe Biden spoke at the Detroit parade in 2014, when he was serving as vice president. Then-President Barack Obama spoke in 2011. And former President Bill Clinton walked in the parade in 2016 as his wife, Hillary Clinton, ran for president.
Harris’ planned visit is the latest in a flurry of Michigan stops by the Democratic presidential nominee and her Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, who are neck-and-neck in the state, according to the latest polling averages.
Trump was in Detroit on Monday, and he’ll be back in Michigan on Thursday for a campaign event in Potterville. Harris last visited Michigan in early August, when she held a large rally at Detroit Metro Airport in Romulus and then spoke to United Auto Workers union members in Wayne.
According to the White House, after her visit to Detroit, Harris will continue Labor Day by joining Biden for an event in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, another crucial battleground state in the upcoming presidential election.

Where can I sign up for Harris rally Monday my 18yr old and I want to ‘do something’ for her campaign. I am a sponsor for CACFP in Metro Detroit and have 18 day care centers and direct access with 6600 voting parents. I am also a mother of 7 grown profession children spread throughout the country. All wanting Harris to win.
I don’t know about you but I thing Kamala Harris is a life saver! She is for everybody. And if there was ever a time we needed a life saver, now it’s that time.
