Former President Donald Trump made a surprise visit to Drake Enterprises, a small non-union auto parts manufacturer outside Detroit, on Wednesday night to counter-program the Republican presidential debate and to contest President Biden's relationship with unionized auto workers. Trump bashed union leadership and argued that United Auto Workers members should prioritize their own interests over those of the union leadership. 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.
