Harris Wrong on Autoworker Jobs
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris wrongly claimed that “as many as 300,000 autoworkers may be out of a job before the end of the year.” That’s a high-end estimate for total job losses — not solely among autoworkers — due to the potential impact of the Trump administration’s trade policies, including actions not yet taken.
In fact, the vast majority of that impact would be due to a threatened, but not implemented, tariff on imports of autos and auto parts.
Harris made the comment during in which she criticized President Donald Trump’s trade policy.
