President Donald Trump visited the Grand Rapids area the night before Election Day — just as he did in 2016 before winning the state.
Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and Republican candidates took part in a Make America Great Again Victory Rally at Gerald R. Ford International Airport on Nov. 2.
Trump started speaking just before midnight and spoke for over an hour.

The rally at Ford airport was Trump's last scheduled campaign event, according to the Trump campaign's website.
Doors opened at 7:30 p.m.
The rally was hosted by AvFlight on the airport's property, according to a spokesperson for the airport.
The airport reminded AvFlight of its "obligation" to follow all state and federal health guidelines, including the new Michigan Department of Health and Human Services limits on gatherings, the spokesperson said.
Key swing state
Michigan is a battleground state for Trump and the Democratic nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden.
They're competing for the swing state's 16 electoral college votes, which are a key part of winning the electoral college.
Trump, Biden and their surrogates have made multiple trips to Michigan during their campaigns, particularly in the race's final weeks.
Earlier today, Trump held a rally in Traverse City. On Sunday, he held a rally in Waterford in Oakland County.

Trump went on to win Michigan over Hillary Clinton by a thin margin in 2016.
It was the first time a Republican presidential candidate took the state since 1988, when George H. W. Bush defeated Michael Dukakis.
