'And every single auto worker, union and non-union, should be voting for Donald Trump.”
Republican presidential candidate and former president, Donald Trump, speaks during the final day of the Republican National Convention Thursday, July 18, 2024, in Milwaukee. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump used the spotlight of his party’s national convention on Thursday night to call for the firing of the leader of the United Auto Workers, escalating his ongoing feud with Shawn Fain, whose union labeled Trump a “scab.
The “should be fired” comment wasn’t in excerpts of Trump’s prepared remarks provided by Trump’s campaign to reporters ahead of the speech. A spokesman for Fain didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment about Trump’s new remarks Thursday night. However, the UAW’s social media account labeled Trump “a scab and a billionaire” in a post on X.
As he has repeatedly in the past, Trump vowed in Thursday’s night speech to end electric vehicle mandates if he’s elected in November. He contended the move would save “the U.S. auto industry from complete obliteration.”
