The state's political pollster suggests that a particular move that includes Donald Trump speaking with members of the United Auto Workers will deeply trouble Democrats, carrying significant political implications.
With a substantial level of union support for Trump in Michigan, including UAW members, President Joe Biden may be concerned about potential election loss if UAW workers do not vote Democrat.
One factor driving Trump's UAW backing is his opposition to the president's initiative for increased electric vehicles, which is believed to threaten UAW jobs.
