[1/8] Former U.S. President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump addresses auto workers as he skips the second GOP debate, in Clinton Township, Michigan, U.S., September 27, 2023.
"Donald Trump is lying about President Biden's agenda to distract from his failed track record of trickle-down tax cuts, closed factories, and jobs outsourced to China," Biden's campaign said in a statement while Trump spoke.
The UAW has to date not backed either presidential candidate, making it the only major union not to endorse Biden.
The UAW leadership has welcomed Biden's support, however, and spoken about Trump and his record in scathing terms.
Promising to end the government's EV push if elected, Trump urged the UAW to back him in the presidential race.
