President Joe Biden will travel to Detroit on Tuesday as he and former President Donald Trump vie for blue-collar voters, and a coveted labor endorsement, heading into the 2024 election.
Biden, the self-billed most pro-union president in history, will picket with United Auto Workers as members continue their strike against the Big Three automakers. The group endorsed Biden in the 2020 election but has yet to extend him their support ahead of a likely rematch against Trump.For months, Trump has sought to capitalize on UAW withholding its endorsement of Biden. The former president will deliver remarks at a rally in Detroit on Wednesday evening.
"This is going to be a historic, historic trip that's going to underscore the president is indeed the most pro-union president in history, and so that's what you're going to see. He's going to be standing, going to join the picket line, standing in solidarity with the men and women of UAW. That is important for the president, he believes, to do and as they continue to fight for a fair share of the value they helped create," she continued.
The extended strike is expected to cost auto manufacturers billions in lost EV revenue and could cause a noticeable economic contraction if allowed to carry on for a significant time. "Polls, they are going to be all over the place. They are going to, you know, they don't tell the whole story, actually, and that is just the way a poll is," she continued."What we're going to focus on is how we can continue to do the job that the president promised that he would do, which is make Americans' lives a little bit better. Give them that breathing room."
