President Biden is expected to join autoworkers on the picket line in Detroit on Tuesday, an extraordinary move for a sitting president.

The strike, which began earlier this month, has ramped up pressure on General Motors, Ford and Stellantis, the country’s three largest auto companies.

Biden’s visit follows an invitation from United Auto Workers leader Shawn Fain.
