Opinion | Michigan and the EV Mandate Backlash
The Biden-Harris Administration keeps selling the wonders of its electric-vehicle rules and subsidies, but the politics of this supposed gift aren’t turning out so well. Republicans in the swing state of Michigan are campaigning on the issue, and Democrats are suddenly on the defensive.
The Trump campaign and others are blanketing Michigan with ads targeting the Administration’s EV policies. “Attention auto workers: Kamala Harris wants to end all gas powered cars,” warns a new Trump campaign ad. Her “push requiring electric-only is failing big. And Michigan autoworkers are paying the price. Massive layoffs already started. You could be next.”
Ms. Harris tried to counter the ads at a rally on Friday in Flint by declaring, “contrary to what my opponent is suggesting, I will never tell you what kind of car you have to drive. But here’s what I will do. I will invest in communities like Flint. We will retool existing factories, hire locally and work with unions to create good paying jobs.”
Translation: The government will provide reparations to auto workers whose jobs are destroyed by its climate policies.
