The Republican Party has its second debate of the 2024 campaign Wednesday. Notably absent will be former President Donald Trump, who instead will travel to Michigan to talk to autoworkers.
on Wednesday where he will speak at an auto parts manufacturing plant. That plant, owned by Drake Enterprises, is a non-union shop, according to the AFL-CIO. Other sources familiar with the situation say it is not affiliated with the UAW or the ongoing strikes.
Some candidates might be feeling more pressure to comment on what will happen if Trump becomes the nominee amid his growing legal issues.Like the last debate, abortion will also probably take center stage, again. This is an important issue for the base of the party – but it's also a point of contention among the GOP.
Trump appointed key conservative justices to the U.S. Supreme Court – who then ruled to overturn Roe v. Wade last year. Their ruling left abortion laws up to the states, which all but outlawed the procedure entirely in some Republican-led states. The Supreme Court ruling remains unpopular among most Americans and arguably at least partly held back the party from larger gains during the 2022 midterm elections.
Inflation and wages have been front of mind for voters. Inflation, in particular, was a key issue for Republicans during last year's midterms and will likely still be a focus next year. Presidential candidates hoping to stay in the running will likely start talking about their plans for the economy.
