Vice President Tim Walz visits Metro Detroit, making the final sprint before Election Day

DETROIT (FOX 2) – With the presidential election around the corner, the election campaign is at an end. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz stopped by Taylor on Friday.

Walz rallied a crowd of union workers, encouraging them to continue canvassing to get Michiganders to the polls.

“You’re digging deep here,” he said. “If you’re tired, I kept saying now, there’ll be plenty of time to sleep when you die.”

UFCW’s William Pitts researched for the Harris-Walz campaign.

“I just researched it, took it all in, I love the Motor City,” Pitts said. “Because this is my second trip here and I’ll be here another week, I’ve got 3 weeks, I’d say about 1,000.”

A thousand doors, that is. Pitts flew in from New Jersey and says as soon as the plane landed, they hit the ground running.

“I’ve been knocking on doors, talking to members who are trying to get out the vote,” said Desmond Byfield of the UFCW. “I’m a little tired, but as Mr. Walz said, ‘sleep when you’re dead.’

Byfield said they made hundreds of phone calls.

“What we do know is that one or two votes per district in the state of Michigan could win this for all of us,” Walz said.

They want a win, says Anne Jackson of National Nurses United. She says she’s tired, too, but they’re going to do everything they can in the next few days to get Vice President Kamala Harris and Tim Walz elected and into the White House.

“It was really great to hear from someone who believes in the work telling our story,” Jackson said. “One of the things the opponent always says is me, me, me, me, me. When you listen to Harris and Walz talk, they say you, they say we, and they say us. And this is about us.”

Election Day is over 100 hours away on Tuesday, November 5th.

Between now and then, you might see one of these guys at your doorstep.
