Former President Donald Trump, leading significantly in the Republican primary campaign, will skip the second GOP debate to rally with striking autoworkers in Detroit. With his focus on the 2024 Presidential race, Trump is making a concerted effort to win back the union workers he lost in the 2020 election. He has criticized President Biden’s push for electric vehicles, which he characterizes as a scam hurting the auto industry and favoring China. Trump’s rally in Detroit is expected to draw more than 500 people.
