Shawn Fain, a key figure in the United Auto Workers (UAW), openly critiqued Joe Biden’s push for electric vehicles (EVs) and suggested a majority of UAW members might favor former President Trump in the 2024 election.
Fain emphasized the need for good wages and benefits in the shift to EVs and acknowledged a shift in union member support away from the Democratic Party.
The UAW, historically aligned with the Democratic Party, might be experiencing a new trend in the upcoming election.
“Look, let me be clear about this: a great majority of our members will not vote for President Biden. Uh… yes, some will, uh… but that’s the reality of this,” Fain said.
“The major majority of our members are going to vote their paychecks. They’re gonna vote for an economy that works for them, and they’re gonna vote for president.”
Although traditionally supporting Democratic candidates, the UAW’s membership is diverse, leading to varying political opinions among its members, including support for candidates from both major parties.
“When you look at these two presidents, the choice is very clear about which one stands up with the working class and stands up for labor, and which one stands for the billionaire class – and that’s his base,” he said.
In recent years, some union members have supported Trump due to his stance on issues like trade and job creation, despite criticism from union leaders.
