"Battle for Michigan's Working Class: Biden vs. Trump's Empty Promises"
TL;DR
President Biden will become the first president to walk a picket line when he joins members of the United Auto Workers in protesting their contract with car manufacturers in Detroit, Michigan.

Both leaders are testing their appeal among the working class in a key swing state, setting up a driving force in the 2024 presidential campaign. Biden has touted himself as a "pro-union" president, while Trump calls himself "pro-worker." The visits highlight their different records and approaches to labor unions.
