Harris vs Trump live: JD Vance tries to confront Harris in Wisconsin; New polls favor Harris over Trump

UAW president Shawn Fain is accusing Donald Trump of having a false change of heart over electric cars because of promised support from Elon Musk, the co-founder and CEO of Tesla.

“All of a sudden, guess what, Donald Trump changed his tune,” Fain told the Harris-Walz rally in Detroit today, to a round of boos.

“Donald Trump is bought and paid for by the billionaire class,” he added. “Trump is a sellout, and as president he already showed us that under him, America is for sale of the highest bidder.”

In union country, there’s nothing worse than being accused of being a “scab,” someone who crosses a picket line to work during a strike.

But that’s exactly what UAW leader Shawn Fain is calling Donald Trump.

“Donald Trump doesn’t know s*** about the auto industry,” Fain told the crowd, branding the former president a “scab” and JD Vance a “vulture.”

“He doesn’t give a damn about the working class in this country,” Fain added of Trump.

“On one side, we’ve got a billionaire that serves himself and his billionaire buddies,” Fain said. “He lies, cheats, and steals his way to the top. “He is the lapdog of the billionaire class.”

Harris, meanwhile, is a “strong,” “intelligent,” and “bada** woman” who stood with striking auto workers, Fain said.
