Vice President Kamala Harris campaigned in Detroit on Labor Day, emphasizing her commitment to labor rights and union support, crucial for the upcoming presidential election in Michigan, where polls indicate a tight race. She highlighted the importance of unions in securing worker rights, including paid leave and safer workplaces, while promising to outlaw union-busting practices if elected. Republicans, including Michigan Reps. John James and Lisa McClain, criticized Harris's push for electric vehicle integration, arguing it threatens jobs in the auto industry. Outside the event, some protesters voiced their opposition to Harris's stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict, demanding an arms embargo against Israel. The campaign stop is part of Harris's broader strategy to solidify support among working-class voters, particularly in the key swing state of Michigan. As Harris rallies support, her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, is also engaging voters, highlighting their middle-class backgrounds in contrast to Trump's policies.
