Biden is off to join the UAW picket line.
“Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Sunday that President Joe Biden is heading to the picket line with auto union workers this week because he’s “deeply pro-worker” — not because he’s trying to get ahead of former President Donald Trump.
‘I think this is President Biden being who he is,’ Buttigieg said in an interview on NBC News’ ‘Meet the Press,’ describing him as ‘the most unapologetically pro-worker, pro-union president we’ve ever had.’
The White House announced Friday that Biden would head to Michigan on Tuesday to meet with striking United Auto Workers union members. ‘The President will 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,’ is said in a statement.
Sources recently confirmed to NBC News that Trump planned to deliver a prime-time speech to autoworkers Wednesday as counterprogramming to the Republican presidential primary debate, which he is not attending.”
