President Joe Biden is facing mounting pressure from Democratic lawmakers to show solidarity with striking auto workers, a move unprecedented for a sitting president, The Washington Post reported.

“It would send a very strong message that Democrats stand for working people — I really do feel Biden should show up, and show up soon," said Rep. Mike McFall. (D-Mich.).

The United Auto Workers (UAW) strike against the nation’s largest automakers has sparked concern amongst Democrats. They fear that former President Donald Trump could seize the opportunity to rally union voters, potentially weakening a key Democratic base.
