Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Brandon Dillon and other Party members called a news conference to remind people Trump and the Republicans are still cutting Obamacare and health care.
And Dillon said about Trump’s popularity, “Every day that loyal following gets smaller and smaller as people see the broken promises.”

The doors open at 4pm. The rally is set for 7 p.m.
