Union workers to play key election role in Michigan

Unions will play an important election role in Michigan. All three Blue Wall states –Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin– have deep ties to organized labor. But it’s especially true here in the home of the Big Three automakers. Union voters have traditionally been a rock-solid base for the Democratic Party, but Kamala Harris failed to secure two key union endorsements that went for Joe Biden in 2020. Donald Trump has sought to capture union worker votes by slamming the vice president’s support of electric vehicles and arguing he’s the better candidate for rank-and-file workers.
