President Biden is en route to Detroit, Michigan where he plans to join the United Auto Workers picket line; “This is what the president wanted to do to stand, to stand with autoworkers,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed.
“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,” Jean-Pierre added. “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.”
Former President and Biden opponent Donald Trump says if he really wanted to help auto workers, he’s walk back his “draconian and indefensible Electric Vehicle mandate.”
Trump unloaded on Biden in a TRUTH Social post.
“Joe Biden’s draconian and indefensible Electric Vehicle mandate will annihilate the U.S. auto industry and cost countless thousands of autoworkers their jobs. The only thing Biden could say today that would help the striking autoworkers is to announce the immediate termination of his ridiculous mandate. Anything else is just a feeble and insulting attempt to distract American labor from this vicious Biden betrayal. Crooked Joe should be ashamed to show his face before these hardworking Americans he is stabbing in the back. With Biden, it doesn’t matter what hourly wages they get, in three years there will be no autoworker jobs as they will all come out of China and other countries. With me, there will be jobs and wages like you’ve never seen before. Our economy will grow!”
Trump announced on September 18th (before Joe) that he would be in Detroit on September 27th to speak with plumbers, electricians, and autoworkers from the UAW.
It looks like Joe is shuffling to beat him to the punch.
