Trump to court striking auto workers in Michigan, skip second GOP debate

Sept. 18, 2023

Former President Donald Trump plans to skip the second Republican presidential debate and come to Metro Detroit instead to rally unionized auto workers on strike, according to a Trump campaign adviser.

The Trump campaign is planning an event for 500 auto workers on Sept. 27 that will coincide with the GOP presidential debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Valley, California, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
