The center of presidential politics this week was the swing state of
Michigan. Trump won the longtime Democratic stronghold in 2016, and
Biden won it back in 2020. It will be pivotal again in 2024. And that’s
why both candidates flew to metro Detroit on consecutive days this week
to insert themselves into the United Auto Workers’ strike against the
so-called “Detroit Three” — General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis, the
company that owns Chrysler.

On this episode of Playbook Deep Dive, host and Playbook co-author Ryan
Lizza joins Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.), the House’s key player when
it comes to the UAW strike, for a conversation about the strike’s
political consequences, why she thinks that Democrats may be in danger
of losing Michigan in 2024, and why the strike’s biggest sticking point
is something you might not even have heard about.
