Thousands of people were gathering outside an airport hangar in Muskegon Saturday to greet President Donald Trump for a campaign rally.

Muskegon — President Donald Trump tried Saturday to tie Democratic rival Joe Biden to the radical left of his party and told his supporters to "watch those ballots"during a Saturday rally attended by thousands of people outside an airport hangar in Muskegon.

 “You’ve got to get your governor to open up her state." Trump said to cheering.

"So how the hell do I put my political and our country’s political life in the hands of a pure partisan like that?" Trump said.

The "lock her up" chant was reminiscent of Trump's campaign audiences from 2016, who chanted the phrase when Trump said Democrat Hillary Clinton should be locked up for sending emails over an insecure server in her home as secretary of state.

The chants in Muskegon also came after federal and state authorities charged 14 men over an alleged plot to kidnap Whitmer, storm the Michigan Capitol and potentially start a civil war.

At the rally, the president also insisted that Biden would be beholden to democratic socialists and radical leftists if elected.

“I think this is an indicator to the country that the state of Michigan is well in play,” state House Speaker Lee Chatfield, R-Levering, said Saturday afternoon.

“The fact that Joe Biden and President Trump are both visiting Michigan is something that should concern Democrats across the country. .

Daughter Ivanka Trump is headed to Alto on Monday, the Trump campaign said Saturday.

Terry Sabo, D-Muskegon, called the Trump rally in his county "very concerning." He said it seemed like Trump was focused on "doing whatever it takes to get re-elected" instead of doing what's best for public safety

"It's putting the health of the residents here in Muskegon County at risk," Sabo said

"We have people coming from all over the place to be a part of this rally, and history has shown that the president doesn't necessarily care about public safety when it comes to wearing a mask, doing the simple things that can prevent this virus, limiting the crowd sizes."
