TL;DR Summary

President Biden made history by joining a picket line of striking United Auto Workers (UAW) members in Michigan, aligning himself with the union and fulfilling his promise to be the "most pro-union president in history." This marked the first time a sitting president has joined a picket line. Biden expressed support for the workers, calling for higher wages and stating that they deserve a significant raise. The visit carries political upsides for Biden, but also risks if the strike continues and impacts the economy. Former President Trump is planning his own visit to the area, despite warnings from union leaders to stay away.
