Michigan: The Democratic Party's full slate of statewide candidates (Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate, Jocelyn Benson for Governor, Eli Savit for Attorney General and Garlin Gilchrist for Secretary of State), are rallying together in Detroit.
They are joined by former DOT head Pete Buttigieg, Michigan Democratic Party chair Curtis Hertel, and Detroit mayor Mary Sheffield.
