BELLEVILLE, United States -- Joe Biden became the first sitting US president to stand on a picket line Tuesday, joining striking auto workers in Michigan in a bold pitch for blue collar votes against likely election rival Donald Trump.
Wearing a United Auto Workers union baseball cap, the Democrat used a bullhorn to tell red-shirted employees they deserved"a hell of a lot more than what you're getting."
Sporting a blue zip-up top with a presidential seal, Biden urged automakers Ford, General Motors and Stellantis to"step up for us." Biden's trip was designed to trumpet his pro-union credentials amid growing concerns about his poll ratings, his age and his struggles to get his economic message across.
Trump meanwhile is hoping to woo back working-class voters, who propelled the right-wing populist to the White House in 2016 on the back of his promise to restore American industry, but then largely flipped to Biden. "Crooked Joe should be ashamed to show his face before these hardworking Americans he is stabbing in the back," the 77-year-old said in a statement Tuesday, using his usual epithet for the president.
