This morning, Senator Bernie Sanders is traveling around Michigan to campaign for Hillary Clinton.

He will begin his tour in Dearborn at the United Auto Workers Local 600.

This is Bernie Sanders' first trip back to the Great Lakes state since his stunning upset in the Michigan primary, beating out Hillary Clinton in March. 

Sanders is expected to make several stops across the state including one in Grand Rapids, East Lansing, and Ann Arbor.

Senator Sanders is here to rally Clinton supporters.

We're told he will discuss her plan to build an economy that works for everyone and distinguish it from Trump's plan, which they claim would benefit millionaires and billionaires.

He's also expected to address increasing the minimum wage, combating climate change, the criminal justice system and making public universities tuition free.

This all comes as Trump was in Novi last Friday and Chelsea Clinton was in northern Michigan.
