Former President Trump has decided to skip the upcoming Republican primary debate.
Instead, he will be addressing a crowd of over 500 current and former union members in Detroit. This decision, confirmed by his campaign on Monday, is seen as an attempt to “counterprogram” the second primary debate.
Trump’s choice to directly engage with autoworkers, plumbers, pipefitters, and electricians, rather than participate in the debate, clearly demonstrates his commitment to the working class.
His decision to stand with the workers, especially during the United Auto Workers (UAW) labor strike, sends a strong message about his priorities.

However, this decision has not been without controversy. The UAW union strongly reacted to the news of Trump’s latest campaign strategy.
UAW President Shawn Fain expressed concerns, stating that the union is focused on fighting against an economy that benefits billionaires like Trump at the expense of workers. Fain previously called a second Trump term a “disaster.”
Despite the criticisms, Trump remains undeterred. He has previously chosen to not participate in a primary debate and instead opted for a pre-taped interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump mentioned his significant lead in polls and his successful presidency as reasons for not taking part in the debates.
Trump’s decision to address the union members comes at a critical time. The UAW is currently involved in a historic strike against the “Big 3” automakers – Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis.
This is the first time in the history of the 150,000-member UAW that members have gone on strike against all three manufacturers simultaneously.

– There’s nothing to debate – clearly TRUMP is the Patriot’s choice. And trying to talk sense to paid shills of the Democrat Party, like Pence and Christie, etc., is obviously… pic.twitter.com/lf1rS5IFcS
