“Thank you, Mr. President, for coming. We know the president will do right by the working class," the #UAW president added.

After #Fain spoke, #Biden walked into the crowd to shake hands, bump fists & pose for selfie pictures w/some of the #workers in the crowd before his entourage departed & headed back to Detroit Metro Airport.

When a reporter asked if #AutoWorkers deserved a 40% #pay #raise, the #workers standing around Biden shouted yes.

Biden responded, “Yes.”

"You made a lot of sacrifice. You gave up a lot when the companies were in trouble. Now, they're doing incredibly well. And guess what? You should be doing incredibly well, too," #Biden said to applause from the #picketers. "You deserve a significant #raise you need & other #benefits. Let's get back what we lost, okay? ... It's time for them to step up for us."

House Republicans on Wednesday approved a bill to #raise the #debt #ceiling into next year, #slash #federal #spending by billions of dollars and #unwind some of President #Biden’s #priorities and recent legislative #accomplishments, including his program to cancel college student debt.

The outcome marked an escalation in the #standoff between the House Speaker Kevin #McCarthy (R-Calif.) and #Biden, as Republican leaders hardened in their resolve to exploit a key #fiscal #deadline for political leverage — even at the risk of causing the U.S. government to #default.

One week after unveiling the so-called Limit, Save, Grow Act, Republicans brought the measure to the House floor and embarked on what proved to be a #raucous #debate. For McCarthy, the process proved precarious, forcing him to make late changes to the legislation to assuage about a dozen moderate and conservative holdouts.
