Batya Ungar-Sargon: Biden Won’t Lose Michigan Because of Gaza, But Because of 600K Auto Workers

EXCERPT:

UNGAR-SARGON: "I think that the media really, really wants to put this narrative out there that Biden is going to lose Michigan over Gaza, when the truth is he’s going to lose Michigan over 600,000 auto workers. Because his EV market was extremely punishing to auto workers and, like we said earlier, there’s been this big realignment where working class Americans are very, very, very much on the Trump train, people who used to be Democrats and used to vote for Democrats. And rather than admit that, this outrage that Democrats lost the working class vote, and try to figure out how we can appeal to them again, they are looking for excuses and other things to blame, like, oh, this war in Gaza, or they’ll call them deplorables or they'll call them racist, you know, because they don’t wanna admit that Trump has picked up a lot of the policies that used to be Democratic policies in the 90s, like controlling the border, for example. The idea that an open border and mass migration is extremely punishing to the working class, it drives down their wages, it’s class warfare against the working class. It is an upward transfer of wealth from the working class, who end up competing with immigrants, to the elites, who end up employing them, and now they can employ cheap immigrants instead of having to pay working class Americans living wage.”
