"Trump's Detroit Visit: Addressing Autoworkers, Skipping Debate"

Former President Donald Trump plans to address union workers in Detroit on the day of the second Republican presidential primary debate, instead of participating in the debate. The event is expected to include autoworkers from the United Auto Workers union, which is currently on strike against major automakers. Trump's campaign has also created a radio ad portraying him as supportive of striking autoworkers. This appearance in Michigan, a state he won in 2016 but lost to President Biden in 2020, presents a challenge for Trump given his administration's policies that were criticized by organized labor. President Biden has expressed support for the striking workers, but the UAW has not yet endorsed him.
