Trump returns to campaign trail in Louisiana and Michigan
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Appearing jovial and relaxed, Donald Trump plunged back into election politics Friday, a full month after he won the presidency, thanking Michigan voters and prodding Louisiana Republicans to turn out for Saturday’s Senate runoff election.
Trump regaled supporters in Grand Rapids with a lengthy recitation of his victories in a string of battleground states, including Michigan, which had not previously backed a Republican presidential candidate since 1988.
“They forgot about you people,” Trump said of his Democratic opponents. “In four years they’re not going to forget. But it’s not going to work because you’re not going to forget.”
Several protesters were removed from his rally at DeltaPlex Arena, prompting the president-elect to declare at one point, “Get ’em out of here.”
