We're now under 50 days until the Presidential election and the State Republican party on Thursday talked about the economy under the Biden-Harris administration.
The car industry was a focal point for Hoekstra as he says the movement towards electric vehicles will hurt jobs in Michigan.

"A lot of UAW workers are going to lose their jobs because of the policies that Harris and Wallz and Biden have put in place," Hoekstra said.

On the other side, in a statement from Democratic Senator Gary Peters, he says that only Vice President Harris "has a plan to lower costs, bring good-paying manufacturing jobs back home, and ensure Michigan workers continue to lead the world in auto manufacturing."

Absentee voting in Michigan begins September 26.
