Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke visited UAW strike in West Chester, Ohio
WEST CHESTER TOWNSHIP, Ohio — As the Democratic presidential candidate field continues to narrow, Democratic presidential candidate Robert "Beto" O'Rourke visited the United Auto Workers strike in West Chester, Tuesday morning.
"We really wanted to stand in solidarity with the UAW," O'Rourke said. "They're not just doing this for members of unions, they're doing this for this country."

O'Rourke's visit comes as the UAW enters its second week of a national strike against GM .
The strike began after union leaders asked GM to relocate the production of some vehicles from Mexico to the US. Some of the solutions put forward by GM are to build an electric truck in a Detroit plant which was going to close and lithium batteries for electric vehicles in a Lordstown, Ohio plant which was also slated to close.
