Wearing a UAW hat and a sweatshirt with the presidential seal, Biden triggered broad applause when he told the crowd of about 200 people that they “deserve a significant raise.”

“Let’s keep going,” he said later, before walking among the picketers to give out fist bumps and pose for selfies. “You deserve what you’ve earned. And you deserve a whole hell of a lot more than you’re getting paid now.”

Trump focused on the president’s push for more electric vehicles, saying it would “annihilate the U.S. auto industry and cost countless thousands of autoworkers their jobs.”

What leap of logic led to this statement? How does building EVs instead of gas-powered vehicles have any impact on their jobs in any way except positive? I understand how a strike can impact jobs, but not how switching to EVs can.

I'm afraid for humanity's future.
