Trump 'takes action' to find a way back to the White House

AP reported on June 26 that former US President Donald Trump has just come to Michigan to campaign in the state that helped him win the election in 2016, but also where he lost the vote in 2020. The campaign on June 25 (local time) took place in the context that he is far ahead of his competitors for the Republican Party's nomination to run for US President in 2024, despite being prosecuted for allegedly keeping classified documents.

Automotive jobs

In front of Republican members of Oakland County, Michigan, Mr. Trump repeatedly accused President Biden of hurting the auto manufacturing industry in Michigan. In addition, he criticized Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, for approving the spending of state budget on a foreign company. Mr. Trump said that the effort to develop electric vehicles would cause great damage to the traditional auto industry in Michigan, as well as take away American jobs.

According to The Detroit News, in recent months, the Democratic administration in Michigan has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on tax incentives to attract investment in electric vehicle battery plants. "If someone wants to have electric cars, I'm all for it. But you should have a choice," Trump said, joking that electric cars are an advantage for China "and also for the tow truck companies because electric cars don't go very far." The powertrain of a traditional car can have up to 2,000 parts, compared to only about 20 parts in an electric car. This prompted the United Auto Workers (UAW) to release a very detailed report on the impact of electric vehicles on jobs. The UAW called on President Biden to have a "just transition" policy to electric vehicles, and has not yet joined other unions in supporting his re-election campaign.

Abortion rights

For his part, President Biden is focusing on the issue of protecting abortion rights during his re-election campaign, a controversial topic after the US Supreme Court ruled in June 2022 that the Constitution does not grant a right to abortion.

What impact will the impeachment of President Biden's son have on the 2024 US election?

Speaking at a campaign event in Washington DC on June 23, President Biden pledged to fight efforts to limit access to abortion and called on Congress to protect abortion rights. According to him, Republicans are likely to push for abortion bans if they control the Senate and the White House through the 2024 election. Before the campaign, President Biden signed an executive order aimed at increasing access and affordability of contraceptives.

Many people do not want a Trump - Biden rematch

The Hill newspaper on June 26 cited a survey showing an unprecedented percentage of people who do not want to see a competition between President Biden and his predecessor Trump again in the 2024 election. The survey conducted by CNN/SSRS on 1,350 people showed that 33% chose Mr. Trump and 32% chose Mr. Biden, while 36% chose neither. This is quite unusual because previous surveys have shown a majority of support for at least one of the two candidates. The survey released by NBC on June 25 showed that Mr. Trump is currently the number one choice among Republican candidates with a support rate of 51%, far behind the 22% rate of his closest rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, while former Vice President Mike Pence received 7%.

Also related to this topic, Vice President Kamala Harris, when speaking in North Carolina on June 24, called on people to use their votes to protect abortion rights. Meanwhile, Mr. Trump said on June 24 that the US government should have a role in intervening in regulating abortion restrictions in the later stages of pregnancy, but did not specify what restrictive policies he would introduce if re-elected, according to The New York Times.
