Democratic nominee Kamala Harris hammered former President Donald Trump 's manufacturing record ahead of his visit to the battleground state of Michigan on Friday, pointing out that offshoring of U.S. jobs increased during the Republican nominee's first White House term despite his grand promises to revitalize the nation's industrial base.
A Public Citizen analysis published in the final months of Trump's presidency found that the Republican nominee's administration 'awarded more than $425 billion in federal contracts to corporations listed among those responsible for offshoring 200,000 American jobs' during his first term. The Economic Policy Institute separately found that roughly 1,800 U.S. factories shuttered during Trump's first term.
