The US state of Michigan is one of a handful of battleground states that will determine who will be the next American president. This swing state has been won by Donald Trump in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020 and now the Democrats are hoping Kamala Harris’ late injection into the race will give them the boost they need to win in November. But will it?
This week on Foreign Correspondent, reporter Stephanie March goes on the hustings with grassroots Democrats and Republicans as they chase crucial votes in Michigan’s counties. At a Democrat volunteers’ event she meets celebrities like Sean Astin, famous for his roles in The Goonies and The Lord of the Rings, who’s confident America is about to elect its first woman president. But as the volunteers go door to door many voters are still undecided in a battleground contest that could swing either way.
