"Trump's Detroit Visit: UAW Strikes and Election Opportunities"
TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump will skip the second GOP debate and instead head to Detroit to join striking union autoworkers as they call for better contract terms from the Big Three automakers. Trump's visit is aimed at positioning himself as an attractive alternative to President Biden, who won the UAW's endorsement in 2020. While the UAW has not endorsed Biden for a second term, the union president has stated that another Trump presidency would be "a disaster." Trump's visit to Detroit is an attempt to appeal to union autoworkers in swing states like Michigan, where he hopes to energize the crowd and show that he has their best interests at heart.
