Donald Trump and JD Vance are set to make their campaign-trail debut as the official Republican ticket by returning to one of a trio of key “blue wall” states that’s increasingly likely to decide the US election.

Trump and Vance will hold a rally in Michigan on Saturday, Trump’s first since the Pennsylvania campaign event a week earlier where he was shot in the ear. The two states and Wisconsin make up a group that typically leans Democratic but each backed Trump in 2016.
