His visit was seen as a way to show his support for unionized auto workers, despite not speaking to striking autoworkers, and its effect on the ongoing UAW strike remains to be seen.

The RNC has expressed confidence in the debates and their ability to draw viewers, but the date and location of the third Republican primary debate has yet to be announced.
