Rather than participate in the second Republican debate next week, former president Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he plans to visit Detroit to court union workers — a key segment of President Joe Biden’s base.

While other Republican presidential contenders gather in Simi Valley, Calif., where the debate will be held, Trump will head to the Motor City to hold a rally with striking union autoworkers.
