Donald Trump made several apparent gaffes during his final rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Monday night, including insulting the city of Detroit, getting the time and location of the event wrong, and addressing his rival Kamala Harris as "he."

The Republican nominee got corrected by a crowd of supporters when at the Van Andel Arena, he said: "Assuming we can win tomorrow, which I think we should be able to do pretty easily." As it was past midnight and already into the early hours of Tuesday, the crowd shouted to correct him, saying: "It's today, today, today."

Trump looked at his watch, appearing pleasantly surprised. "Oh, it's today," he said, adding that it was "a compliment" to have such a big crowd at "one o'clock or some ridiculous time in the morning on a Monday/Tuesday." The rally was scheduled for the late hours of Monday night but started at midnight and continued into the early hours of Tuesday.

At another point of the rally, which took place only hours before polls open in the key battleground state on Election Day, Trump said he will incentivize American manufacturing if elected and bring investment back to Michigan, referring to "here" as Detroit instead of Grand Rapids.

"Let them know we'd love to have their investment, they're going to build it right here in Detroit. Or at the minimum, they're going to build it someplace in the United States," the former president said. The comment was picked up by Kamala Harris' campaign team, which shared a clip of it on X, writing: "Trump is in Grand Rapids, not Detroit."

During another part of the speech in Grand Rapids, the Republican candidate insulted Detroit, saying he had been hearing about the city and the so-called miracle of Detroit—the economic recovery of the city after its bankruptcy proceedings in 2013—for a long time, but he failed to see it. "Well, I mean look, we got to be honest. Has it happened?" Trump asked the crowd at the rally.

Harris' campaign shared a clip of this part of the former president's speech on the social media platform as well, accusing Trump of attacking the same city he wants to vote for him.

It's not the first time that Trump attacked Detroit during the 2024 presidential election cycle. During a rally in Michigan in early October, the former president had warned that the U.S. would become "like Detroit" if Harris was elected, saying voters would have "a mess" on their hands. In another dig at the city made during the same event, he called Detroit "a developing area [...] a lot more than most places in China."

Harris' campaign team also pointed out that Trump mistakenly referred to the Democratic candidate as "he" before correcting himself. "Based on what I'm hearing, he's right now at 4 percent, she's at 4 percent," Trump can be heard saying in a clip shared by Harris' campaign on X. Harris' campaign, who have been trying to raise the same concerns over Trump's age and fitness for office that surrounded Joe Biden's candidacy, played up the former president's mistake, writing: "Trump forgets who he is running against, calling his opponent 'he.'"

Newsweek contacted Trump's campaign for comment by email on Tuesday morning, outside of standard working hours.

Trump chose Grand Rapids to make his final campaign speech, as he had previously done in 2016 and 2020. While Harris stayed in Pennsylvania for her final campaign push before Election Day, Trump moved between North Carolina (Raleigh), Pennsylvania (Reading and Pittsburgh), and Michigan (Grand Rapids).
