Summary

President Biden walked the United Auto Workers picket line in Michigan Tuesday becoming the first U.S. president to join striking workers in modern history.

FOX's Eben Brown speaks with FOX Business Network's Jeff Flock, in Warren, Michigan, about the historic visit, what the President said about the work stop and where the strike stands at this point.
