Description
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.
Ryan Lizza is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO.
Debbie Dingell is the representative for Michigan's 6th district.
Kara Tabor is a producer for POLITICO audio.

Rep. Jerry Nadler opposed the House antisemitism bill. Here's why: Rep. Jerry Nadler, who has represented a big piece of Manhattan since 1992, is one of the longest-serving Jewish members of the House. He’s also a Columbia University alumnus: he was on campus in 1968 when police cleared Hamilton Hall of anti-Vietnam war protesters. Nadler is a close observer of the Middle East and the politics of Israel in the U.S. And he’s the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, where he’s long seen himself as a champion of civil liberties. All of this background helped put Nadler at the center of a swirl of events this week as pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia were ejected from Hamilton Hall, as President Biden made his first public remarks about campus protests, as a ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel seemed tantalizingly close and as the House passed, by an overwhelming majority of 320 to 91, the Antisemitism Awareness Act — a bill against which Nadler led the oppositio by Playbook Deep Dive
