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.
