After President Joe Biden joined members of the United Auto Workers in Michigan on the picket line Tuesday, Republicans attacked his administration’s economic and green-energy policies.
In a historic moment for the president, Biden showed support for picketers on the 12th day of their strike against the Detroit three automakers, backing their call for a 40% pay raise and acting on his self-proclaimed label as the “most pro-union president in history.”Republicans scoffed at Biden’s visit, criticizing his administration's push for a wide transition toward electric vehicles that some believe will disrupt employment in the U.S. auto industry.
Now he’s off to California for a fundraiser, where he’ll no doubt promote his EV mandates that are destroying UAW jobs and empowering Communist China.https://t.co/yRtjoihRC5 Biden doesn’t care about UAW auto workers, he cares about passing his Green New Deal agenda.

Former President Donald Trump is expected to speak to autoworkers in Michigan on Wednesday, forgoing the second GOP primary debate as he did the first. The former president claimed Biden is only meeting with strikers because he announced his visit prior. Trump plans to attend despite UAW President Shawn Fain making it clear that Trump is not welcome on the picket line and stating that the union is “fighting the billionaire class and an economy that enriches people like Donald Trump at the expense of workers.”
