Are American Voters Workers or Consumers?
<p>Right now, the United Auto Workers are on strike, targeting a small number of auto plants in an attempt to get a pay raise and other concessions from management. Joe Biden is planning to walk the picket line with the striking workers, a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/22/politics/joe-biden-michigan-trip-uaw/index.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">first</a> for a sitting president.</p>
<p>The pundits, of course, are offering their analyses of why Biden would choose to do this. Is he ideologically pro-union, hearkening back to the days when organized labor was strong and made up a significant part of the Democratic coalition? Is he riding the recent wave of pro-labor sentiment? Is he making a strategic play for white working-class voters who have flocked to the GOP since 2015? Is he, as Donald Trump claims, just trying to overshadow Trump’s own scheduled visit to Michigan?</p>
