US President Joe Biden speaks as he joins striking United Auto Workers on the picket line, September 26, 2023, in Van Buren Township, Michigan

FORMER US president Donald Trump is expected to visit autoworkers on strike in Michigan today to win over voters following a visit by his rival, Joe Biden.

President Biden became on Tuesday the first US leader in history to join a picket line, telling members of the United Auto Workers in Detroit that “you deserve the significant raise you need.”

The Democrat encouraged workers to keep fighting for better wages as he competed with his Republican rival, Mr Trump.
