Campaigners ramp up door-to-door efforts in Michigan ahead of US election

With the U.S. presidential election approaching, campaigners in Michigan are intensifying door-to-door efforts to sway voters. President Joe Biden won the state by 154,000 votes in 2020, after Donald Trump's narrow victory in 2016. Republicans are targeting African-American voters, hoping to shift support away from Democrats. They are leveraging figures like former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who was released from prison by Trump, to connect with this community. Democrats are also facing challenges, particularly among Arab-American voters in Dearborn, who are dissatisfied with Biden's stance on Israel. Their support could be crucial, as Michigan's election outcome remains uncertain.
