As the second Democratic presidential primary debate in Detroit continues, today The Hill wrote about the DNC and Michigan Democrats’ “aggressive effort” to win the state — including organizers on the ground, new initiatives to reach voters online, and early outreach to communities of color.

And on the ground in Warren, DNC Chair Tom Perez joined Rep. Dan Kildee outside a closing auto plant to speak about Trump’s record of broken economic promises. The event continued a multi-week push across the battleground states highlighting how voters’ personal economy remains a major vulnerability for Trump’s campaign.
