The county GOP invited Trump to the dinner 10 years ago, with a turnout of over 2,000 people. This year, the party is expecting 4,000 to 5,000 attendees.
Trump has visited Michigan numerous times, attracting thousands of supporters at his rallies. His last visit was in October to support Tudor Dixon, who ran and lost against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in November.
Now, Trump is making his rounds again after he announced late last year that he is running for president in 2024.
He has continued to attract huge crowds and lead all polls among potential GOP contenders, despite becoming the first former president to be criminally prosecuted in April. He faces 34 counts related to claims he arranged payouts to conceal extramarital affairs during his first run for president in 2016.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a possible Trump opponent for the Republican ticket, visited Michigan in April and made speeches decrying what he called the “woke” movement.
