Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), where he spoke about tariffs on foreign-imported cars with a goal of retaining production within the United States.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Year by year, all the time, we&rsquo;re losing our companies that make our cars, make the autos. A lot of them are going to Mexico now, and it&rsquo;s Mexico through China because China owns the factories; they&rsquo;re building big factories. They wouldn&rsquo;t have done it with me. &hellip; They think they&rsquo;re gonna make the cars and sell them in and close up Detroit, close up everything in this area,&rdquo; Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not going to happen because we&rsquo;re going to put very heavy tariffs on those cars coming across the border, and we&rsquo;re not gonna let that happen,&rdquo; Trump concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Michigan is known for being an auto worker hub. Ford Motor Company is one of the largest employers in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also touched on electric vehicle mandates, a key issue among Republican voters who prefer gas or hybrid alternatives. The Biden administration has been shifting the car industry toward phasing in electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also chuckled as Blackburn had arguably the line of the night, albeit one cribbed from Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The most expensive vehicle you drive in 2024 is the grocery cart,&rdquo; Blackburn said. &ldquo;And Donald Trump is going to get those grocery prices down.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">As <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MikeRogersForMI?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MikeRogersForMI<\/a> says, the most expensive vehicle that Americans drive in 2024 is the grocery cart. <\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump will get those grocery prices down! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lxjuK0roBr\">pic.twitter.com\/lxjuK0roBr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Marsha Blackburn (@VoteMarsha) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VoteMarsha\/status\/1839818560002240659?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 28, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script> <\/p>\n<p>Trump emphasized his &ldquo;drill, baby, drill&rdquo; initiative toward cheaper energy prices in response to a voter question about the rising cost of living.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Trump touched on critical voter issues without appearing to stray too far from the point in his Michigan campaign stop.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Warren is a city in Macomb County, part of the Detroit metro area.
