UAW President Criticizes Trump's EV Investment Repeal Threat
Shawn Fain warns of significant job losses if Trump revokes electric vehicle funding as part of his election promises.
- UAW President Shawn Fain claims hundreds of thousands of U.S. jobs are at risk if Donald Trump wins the election and revokes EV investments.
- Trump's running mate, Senator JD Vance, has not committed to maintaining a $500 million investment for a GM electric vehicle plant in Michigan.
- Fain highlights that the potential repeal affects not just one plant but factories and supply chains across the United States.
- The Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act includes a $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicle purchases, which Trump has considered ending.
- Fain asserts that internal polls show strong Democratic support among union members, countering claims of widespread autoworker backing for Trump.
