President Joe Biden is set to make a special visit to Michigan, where he will stand in solidarity with the United Auto Workers by joining them on the picket line.
Biden’s visit follows an invitation extended by UAW President Shawn Fain during his remarks on Friday. This invitation coincides with the union’s escalation of its strike against Ford Motor Co., General Motors, and Stellantis.
“Tuesday, I’ll go to Michigan to join the picket line and stand in solidarity with the men and women of UAW as they fight for a fair share of the value they helped create,” Biden said. “It’s time for a win-win agreement that keeps American auto manufacturing thriving with well-paid UAW jobs.”
Additional information regarding the specifics of Biden’s trip, such as the exact location of the striking site he will visit, remains undisclosed at this time.
It’s worth noting that his visit is scheduled for the day before former President Donald Trump meets with auto workers who are on strike in the Detroit area on Wednesday. This move is seen as part of his efforts to gain support from blue-collar workers for his potential 2024 presidential campaign.
