The biggest showdown between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders will take place in Michigan, a blue-collar battleground where Sanders sprang a stunning 2016 upset over Hillary Clinton
DETROIT - Joe Biden made a last-minute pitch on Tuesday to the blue-collar workers he hopes will help deliver a critical win in Michigan’s Democratic presidential primary, as rival Bernie Sanders aims for an upset that would revive his flagging White House hopes.
Michigan is also likely to be a crucial battleground in the general election, after Trump became the first Republican presidential candidate four years ago to carry the state in nearly three decades. “Unions built the country,” Biden said, yelling through a bullhorn. “You’re the best damn workers in the world.”
“He’s also really a Republican in my view,” Greenwood, who owns a downtown coffee shop, said of Biden. “His voting record shows that he’s voted against all of his party’s interests for his entire career.”
