The number of campaign stops in Michigan by presidential candidates has more than doubled since 2020 and 2016.

During the 2024 election cycle, presidential and vice presidential candidates have increased their events in Michigan by double compared to the 2016 and 2020 elections.

In the swing state of Michigan, the Harris and Trump campaigns have held a total of 46 events together in the week leading up to the election, surpassing the 22 events held in 2016 and the 21 events hosted in 2021.

The Associated Press updates the 2024 data, which includes events held by both presidential candidates and their running mates, as well as events where the entire ticket is present. Fair Vote compiled the data for the 2016 and 2020 elections, which also counts events for both presidential candidates and their running mates.

Ohio Sen. JD Vance and former President Trump have made a total of 26 visits to the state, while Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz have made a combined total of 20 visits.

Michigan has become a crucial state in the upcoming election, with Trump currently leading by a slim 0.1 points, according to the Real Clear Politics polling average as of Monday.

ElectionBettingOdds.com shows Trump with a 53% chance to win Michigan, while Harris has a 47% chance, and Planet Chronicle Power rankings classify Michigan as a toss-up.

In the last three elections, Michigan has been a crucial swing state, with Trump winning the state in 2016 by less than half a percentage point and losing it to President Biden in 2020 by less than three percentage points.

In recent years, the narrow margins in the state have been highlighted by the amount of time candidates are spending there. Michigan ranked fifth in 2016 with 22 total visits, behind Florida (71), North Carolina (55), Pennsylvania (54), and Ohio (48).

In 2021, Michigan ranked fourth in state visits, with 47, 31, and 25 visits respectively, following Pennsylvania, Florida, and North Carolina.

As of Oct. 28, according to AP data, only Pennsylvania has received more total visits from the campaigns than Michigan in 2024, with a total of 63 visits.

The top five battleground states in this year's election, according to AP data, are North Carolina (35 events), Wisconsin (33), Arizona (23), Nevada (20), and Georgia (18).
