Democrats To Host Events In Detroit Ahead Of Michigan Primary
DETROIT (WWJ/AP) -- As Michigan voters prepare for the primaries this week, Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton will host a rally in Detroit on Monday.
The event will be held at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History on Monday. Doors will open at 6:15 p.m. with the program kicking off at 7:45 p.m.
The event is open to the public, but registration through Clinton's website is required. Those wishing to RSVP can do so HERE.
Meanwhile, Democratic opponent Bernie Sanders will host a town hall meeting at Detroit's CWA Hall on Sunday just before the duo travel to Flint for a nationally-televised debate later that day.
Supporters can register for the town hall meeting HERE.
Clinton spoke in Detroit on Friday about her economic platform and urged her competitors to come up with "credible" plans as well.
Clinton's address at Detroit Manufacturing Systems, a manufacturer of instrument panels for cars, offered her the opportunity to contrast herself with both Sanders and business mogul Donald Trump, the leading Republican candidate.
"Anyone running for president owes it to you to come up with real ideas, not an ideology, not an old set of talking points but a credible strategy designed for the world we live in now," Clinton said in remarks pointed at both rivals.
In her address, Clinton called for a so-called "clawback" of tax benefits for companies that ship jobs overseas, rescinding tax relief and other incentives intended to encourage domestic investment. Revenue raised by this "clawback" would then be used to support investment in the United States.
Clinton made clear to differentiate with Republicans, saying there were "so many insults" at Thursday night's Republican debate "it was hard to keep track." She said the "biggest insult of all was to the American people" and the economy was an "afterthought" during the Republican debate.
