LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The prospect of an autoworkers strike could test Joe Biden’s treasured assertion he’s the most pro-union president in U.S. history. A work stoppage targeting General Motors, Ford and Stellantis has the potential to reshape the political landscape in battleground Michigan. And a strike reverberate economically nationwide. The Democratic president says he hopes negotiations can lead to a win-win for both sides. The United Auto Workers says a strike will occur if tentative contract agreements aren’t reached by just before midnight Thursday. Donald Trump has seized the opening to urge rank-and-file members to break with their union and back his 2024 Republican presidential bid.
