The first question during Wednesday’s GOP presidential debate focused on the United Auto Workers strike against the country’s Big Three automakers.
The candidates directed their criticism at President Biden and the striking union members, with little to no mention of former president Donald Trump — who skipped the debate in favor of making a pitch to working-class Americans. Biden made history Tuesday when he became the first sitting president who has joined a picket line as he attempted to make good on a promise to be “the most pro-union president in history.”
