US: Kamala Harris Rally In Michigan Underway Shortly

US
USGlobalHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskPolitical Risk BulletBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange BulletsRegionNorth America

Vice President Kamala Harris is shortly due to hold a rally in Ann Arbor, Michigan. LIVESTREAM. 

  • The rally comes after today Harris touted investments in state made by the Biden administration from the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act, including a campaign stop at a polysilicon semiconductor manufacturing facility in Saginaw that is set to receive USD$325 million in CHIPS funding. In September, Harris unveiled a USD$100 billionmanufacturing agenda in neighbouring Pennsylvania.
  • Historically, Michigan is consider the bluest of the three Blue Wall states (Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisonsin) but polling this cycle shows a toss-up race leaning slightly towards Harris.
  • There has been a lot of scutiny over the vote of the sizable Arab-American population in the state, with reports suggesting Harris could lose a large portion of the vote in protest of the Biden's aministration's handling of the Middle East crisis.
  • Nate Silver notes that Arab Americans represent, "only around 2 percent of the Michigan electorate. A 25-point swing in the Arab American vote toward Trump would produce a net shift of about 0.5 points to him in Michigan’s topline numbers. That’s a problem for Harris, but it’s probably not her biggest problem given that Michigan typically provides a bit more cushion to Democrats than the other swing states."
