President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are both visiting Michigan this week, previewing a fight for working-class voters in the 2024 election as the United Auto Workers continues its strike against the nation’s three largest auto companies.

Their trips reflect dramatically different ways Biden and Trump hope to win support of blue-collar voters who could swing Michigan and other Midwest states.

• Unlike Biden, Trump won’t be walking a picket line. Instead, the former president and frontrunner to win the 2024 Republican nomination will hold a rally with current and former union members in Clinton Township, Michigan.
• Trump’s angle: To issue a warning about what he says is the new enemy of the working class – electric vehicles, embraced by the Biden administration and a source of consternation among auto workers.
• Working-class voters who lack college degrees could decide whether Biden again wins Michigan and its 16 electoral votes in 2024 or whether Trump, if he’s the Republican nominee, moves it back to the Republican column.

Also this week: Trump will opt out of the second GOP debate for his trip to the Midwest.
