Battleground State of Michigan Key in 2020 Path to White House

Kane Farabaugh

   SAGINAW, MICHIGAN - Amid a sea of flags flying in a strong breeze, all
   of them emblazoned with "Trump" and various campaign slogans and
   images, Michigan voter Mickey Cook mingled with the thousands who
   showed up for President Donald Trump's recent campaign event, held at
   an airport near Saginaw in the central part of the state. Cook gives
   Trump, a Republican, high marks for his job performance in the White
   House.

   "Trump's done what he said he's going to do and that's the bottom
   line," Cook told VOA. "Whether you like the guy or not, he's working
   hard, and I haven't seen any accomplishments from any political figure
   like I have from him at least. The guy's non-stop."

   Aside from seeing the president in person, the rally gives Cook an
   opportunity to sell red shirts bearing a unique message: "It's Great in
   Michagain".
   "It's a play on 'Make America Great Again,'" Cook explained,
   referencing the president's well-known political slogan. "We want
   everyone to know it's great in Michigan. Aside from the political,
   there's a lot of great things here."
