Trump’s visit also comes a day after President Joe Biden became the first sitting president in U.S. history to walk a picket line as he joined United Auto Workers in Detroit.
Supporters mingle before former President Donald Trump speaks in Clinton Township, Mich., Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2023. Trump will be in battleground Michigan working to win over blue-collar voters in the midst of an autoworkers’ strike. Trump's trip on Wednesday comes as his Republican challengers gather onstage in California for their second primary debate.
Trump was set to deliver primetime remarks at Drake Enterprises, a non-unionized auto parts supplier in Clinton Township, about a half-hour outside Detroit. The former president has tried to capitalize on the strike to drive a wedge between Biden and union workers, a constituency that helped pave the way for his surprise 2016 victory. Trump in that election won over voters in Democratic strongholds like Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, fundamentally reshaping voting alliances as he railed against global trade deals and vowed to resurrect dying manufacturing towns.
“Joe Biden’s draconian and indefensible Electric Vehicle mandate will annihilate the U.S. auto industry and cost countless thousands of autoworkers their jobs,” Trump railed in a statement after Biden’s Tuesday visit. “I don’t think he cares about working-class people. I think he cares about the billionaire class, he cares about the corporate interests. I think he’s just trying to pander to people and say what they want to hear, and it’s a shame,” Fain said.
Trump has not weighed in on the union’s proposal, but aides insist its rank-and-file members “are in a much different place than their political leaders.”
