Former President Donald Trump visited Howell, Michigan, a month after a white supremacist rally took place there, stirring renewed criticism from Democrats. They accuse him of inflaming racial tensions for political advantage.

Trump plans to criticize Democratic rival Kamala Harris' criminal justice record during his speech at the Livingston County Sheriff's Office. Despite the backlash, a Trump campaign spokesperson assured that the former President would condemn 'hate of any form.'

The event, set in a town with historical ties to the Ku Klux Klan, has garnered significant attention. Democrats argue that Trump's choice of location and timing are politically and racially provocative. Trump, however, aims to emphasize his message on law and order, appealing to voters in the critical swing state of Michigan.
