SAGINAW (WWJ) -- With the countdown to Election Day now down to 33 days, both U.S. presidential candidates are paying a visit to swing state Michigan.
Former president Donald Trump is holding a campaign rally at Ryder Center on the campus of Saginaw Valley State University in Saginaw, Thursday afternoon.
Late Thursday morning, video posted to social media shows a fight broke out as crowds were already gathering ahead of Trump's speech.
Cell phone footage shows three men involved, pushing each other, wrestling and throwing punches near the line to get into the event.
Two officers quickly arrive to intervene, breaking up the fight.
While police did not immediately comment on the incident, unconfirmed reports say those involved were vendors selling Trump merchandise at the rally.
There are no reports of any serious injuries.
Trump is scheduled to speak at 3 p.m.
Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, will travel to Michigan after a visit to Wisconsin on Thursday. Harris is scheduled to speak at a campaign event in Flint, to be followed by another in the Detroit area on Friday.
Also happening Thursday is the launch of a new group, Michigan Republicans for Harris-Walz, consisting of members of the GOP who are speaking out to publicly endorse the Democratic nominee.
Among them is former Republican Congressman Dave Trott, who hoped the public is paying attention to news about an unsealed brief filed by special counsel Jack Smith in the criminal case against Trump regarding the 2020 election.
"Trump has unequivocally said that if I lose I'm gonna tell you that it was stolen from me, and people can act accordingly," Trott said. "And having the details of the Smith investigation released, I think the more people hear about it, the non-MAGA folks that maybe are just independent voters now just tuning into the election will start to discount everything Trump says and does."
Smith’s new brief argues that, in the case of the Jan. 6 riot, Trump can’t claim this immunity. (Read more about the Smith brief, and what Trump has to say about it, here).
In the Michigan GOP presidential primary in February, the Harris camp says 356,150 registered Republican voters cast their ballots against Trump — more than 33 times the margin of votes Trump won Michigan by in 2016 in the general election.
