President Joe Biden's visit to striking auto workers in Michigan, where he sided with the workers against their corporate bosses, reflects the importance of blue-collar workers and swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin in the 2024 general election. Biden's break with establishment norms and support for the striking workers is aimed at maintaining his support among union voters, who played a crucial role in his 2020 win. However, there are risks involved, as the outcome of the strike could either bolster Biden's image or make him appear insincere. With the 2024 election approaching, Biden's support for the workers could have implications for his reelection campaign.
