Vice President Biden to Make Campaign Stop in West Bloomfield

Tickets are not available for the visit, believed to be the first time that a sitting U.S. V.P. has come to town.

According to West Bloomfield Township Supervisor Michele Economou Ureste, Wednesday will mark the first time in which a sitting U.S. president or vice president has visited the township.

Vice President Joe Biden is expected to visit Wednesday for a campaign rally. Although tickets were announced Saturday as being available beginning at $500, Shenandoah management indicated Tuesday that only a small group will actually be visiting Biden. 

"It's a special time for the township and for the folks at Shenandoah. They have a unique, impressive facility and I'm glad to see the campaign make a stop there," Economou Ureste said.
