Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have packed schedules leading into Tuesday.

They’ll be making one last effort at winning over the people of Michigan. With the gap narrowing among likely voters – it is within the margin of error and both candidates are feeling the pressure of winning the state of Michigan and it’s 16 electoral college votes.

President Barack Obama will be joined by Hillary Clinton's daughter Chelsea at the Ray l. Fisher Stadium in Ann Arbor today. 

The president is set to speak just around 12:15 p.m.

Hillary Clinton is also expected to speak in Allendale around 4 p.m.

The visits come on the heels of the most recent poll which shows Hillary Clinton leading in Michigan among likely voters, but her lead has narrowed in recent days.

Donald Trump was in the area Sunday night – speaking to a packed house inside the Freedom Hill Amphitheatre in Sterling Heights. 

And he’ll be back in Michigan today.

Donald Trump and Mike Pence will stump in Grand Rapids together. Trump is scheduled to speak around 11 p.m. tonight.

Trump’s daughter Ivanka will be in Hudsonville where she’ll meet with women in business. Donald Trump Jr. will be in Detroit around 2:30 p.m., stopping inside Rub BBQ Pub before heading to the Ukrainian Cultural Center at 4 p.m. in Warren. 

Both candidates are hoping to turn this battleground state. Analysts predict whichever candidate takes Michigan will likely will the election.
