Vice President Kamala Harris and her newly announced running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, emphasized their strong support for organized labor during multiple campaign stops in Michigan. They addressed United Auto Workers (UAW) members at Local 900, highlighting their pro-union records and criticizing former President Donald Trump for his anti-union stance. The UAW, along with other major labor unions, has endorsed Harris following President Biden's exit from the 2024 race. Walz, a long-time National Guard member, and Harris both stressed fairness, dignity, and collective bargaining as key principles. Republicans, meanwhile, criticized the Harris-Walz ticket, accusing them of ignoring critical issues facing Michiganders.
