Outside the Trump rally, small groups of Trump supporters waived flags along a main road, while closer to the factory where the former president will speak was a small drumline with Trump supporters waiving flags nearby. "Auto Workers for Trump" and "Union Members for Trump" signs were being handed out to attendees and MAGA hats were prevalent in the largely white, older male crowd. Brian Pannebecker, a retired auto worker who runs a Facebook group called "Auto Workers for Trump, said he assisted in getting current and retired auto workers to the event for the Trump campaign and expects more than 200 people at the event. The venue where Trump will speak is an auto parts production facility, which allows little room for the stage or a large audience. Hundreds of chairs were set up in front of where Trump will speak, with bleachers meant for auto workers on the far left and far right of the stage.

The union is pushing for higher wages, shorter work weeks and assurances from the country’s top automakers that new electric vehicle jobs will be unionized. The dueling appearances reflect what will likely be a chief dynamic of the 2024 general election, which is increasingly looking like a rematch between Trump and Biden. Trump has tried to capitalize on the strike to drive a wedge between Biden and union workers, a constituency that helped pave the way for the ex-president’s surprise 2016 victory. While Biden has not implemented an electric vehicle mandate, he has set a goal that half of all new vehicle sales be electric by 2030. He’s set to hold a press conference to highlight Trump’s “false promises to blue collar and union workers in Michigan and across America.”___AP Auto Writer Tom Krisher in Van Buren Township, Michigan, contributed to this report.

Democrat Biden traveled to a Belleville, Michigan, parts distribution center owned by General Motors (GM.N), and joined dozens of picketers outside. Auto company sources said Biden's support for a 40% pay hike may make it harder to reach a compromise with the UAW. Calling Biden's visit a "historic moment in time," Fain accused CEOs of taking the profits and leaving workers to "fight for scraps."

Nearly as soon as the United Auto Workers went on strike earlier this month, Biden voiced support for the workers. Wearing a UAW ball-cap and speaking through a bullhorn, Biden’s overt support for the striking workers was a break from his predecessors’ attempts at neutrality. Biden was invited by the UAW to join their picket line, and has spoken out forcefully in favor of the workers.
