As part of their Get Out The Vote organizing effort, Tim Walz rallied at Hart Plaza in the Motor City with musical guests.
Musical guests included the Detroit Youth Choir, Jon Bon Jovi, Michael Stipe with R.E.M. and Michael and Tanya Trotter of "The War and Treaty."
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrest and Rep. Elissa Slotkin also took the stage before Walz. The event was held in conjunction with critical battleground states like Michigan.
"We're going to save our state, we're going to save our country, the whole world is watching us, and we're going to do our job," Slotkin said.
Walz on Monday focused on reproductive rights and said Vice President Kamala Harris is the best teammate.
"We've got the best quarterback on the field and that's Kamala Harris. We don't get tired because we know there's plenty of time to sleep when you're dead," Walz said. "And we believe in the promise of America. We just have to fight for it."
Voters we spoke with said they're looking forward to Election Day.
"Oh, so much excitement. Just the fact I have never missed a vote and just the fact that I'm actually I'm able to be here and if we get madam president, I will be at inauguration with my granddaughter to make sure she knows that this vote was for her," voter Tamara Buchanan said.
Walz was just in the Mitten State on Friday, with campaign stops in Lansing, Traverse City and Taylor. He and Harris have been in Michigan several times over the last few months, with Harris most recently speaking in East Lansing at Michigan State University following her surprise appearance on "Saturday Night Live."
