White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday announced that President Donald Trump will celebrate the first 100 days of his second term with a rally in Michigan next week.

The visit will mark Trump's first time back in the battleground state since he wrapped his presidential campaign last November. The president concluded the campaign with a rally in Grand Rapids.

Leavitt said the new rally will take place in Macomb County, which the president won in November with 55% of the vote. Trump swept all seven battleground states last year. 

"President Trump is excited to return to the great state of Michigan next Tuesday, where he will rally in Macomb County to celebrate the FIRST 100 DAYS," the press secretary posted on X. 

The announcement comes after Trump said he was working with Michigan leaders, including Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, to keep Macomb County's Selfridge Air National Guard Base "open, strong, thriving"

"I think we're going to be successful, governor. I think we'll be very successful there," Trump said in the Oval Office earlier this month. "We've gotten some good feedback from [Defense Secretary] Pete Hegseth and the Department of Defense ... It's a great piece of property. It's a great location, and it's a great state. So I think we're going to come back with a very good answer."

The president will reach the 100-day threshold on April 30.
