Biden previously won Michigan by three points in the 2020 presidential election.
Last month, the Michigan Supreme Court rejected an attempt to remove Trump from the state's 2024 Republican primary ballot.
However, the Colorado Supreme Court on Dec. 19 and Maine's secretary of state on Dec. 28 disqualified Trump from appearing on their respective state primary ballot in 2024. The disqualification, which was made under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, is related to Trump's alleged role in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
