In 3 big states, Biden looks to rebuild Democrats' Blue Wall
WARREN, Mich. — Joe Biden traveled to suburban Detroit on Wednesday to make a direct appeal to blue-collar workers who might have voted Republican four years ago but now regret it — attempting to rebuild the once fabled Democratic “blue wall” that crumbled and helped catapult Donald Trump to the White House.
He noted that a local General Motors transmission plant closed last year despite Trump's pledges to protect Michigan jobs, adding, “I bet the workers around here weren’t all that comforted by Trump’s empty promises.” Though the Biden campaign often emphasizes that it sees multiple ways to secure the 270 Electoral College votes it needs to win in November, the quickest path runs through Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Previewing the president's own Michigan trip, the Trump campaign looked to paint Biden as deferential on China. Trump's allies have long credited his hawkish stance toward Beijing in 2016 as helping him win the industrial Midwest, which suffered job losses overseas that Trump blamed on Obama-era trade policies.
Trump supporters maintain that the president fulfilled his job creation promises and was only temporarily sidetracked by the pandemic. But hiring at factories across the Midwest — including in Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin — actually began to stall and then decline in the summer of 2019.
