In the run-up to Wednesday's debate, the strike is posing a delicate balance to candidates trying to tap into Trump’s populist playbook, as well as more traditional pro-business conservatives.
and former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley are sticking to harsh rhetoric against the UAW itself as well as Biden’s policies, even as thethe striking autoworkers, and Republican voters are evenly split on the issue.
to a question from reporters Tuesday about whether autoworkers should get the 40 percent wage increase they’ve demanded. The union leadership didn’t invite Trump and has repeatedly ruled out endorsing him, though it hasn’t endorsed Biden either. That approach of laying blame on Biden’s pro-climate, pro-EV policies is shared among several of the candidates. DeSantis, for instance, when asked about the strike, said “one of the things that’s a big threat to that is Biden’s push to impose electric vehicle mandates.”
“I have no doubt in my mind that all those hard-working autoworkers are living in the same reality that every other American is living in, and that is, wages are not keeping up with inflation,” Pence said this month on CNN’s State of the Union. “I also think that this green agenda … is understandably causing great anxiety among UAW members”
Scott doubled down against the union Friday: “They want to threaten me & shut me up. They don’t scare me,”Haley, Scott’s fellow candidate from South Carolina — the state with the lowest union membership rate in the country — was also unabashed in her dislike for unions in“I was a union buster,” Haley said of her time as South Carolina governor. “I didn’t want to bring in companies that were unionized simply because I didn’t want to have that change the environment in our state.
