Trump announced last week he would skip the second GOP debate in California and meet with striking UAW workers instead.

United Auto Workers in Detroit, Michigan, on Tuesday was not influenced by former president Donald Trump's planned visit on Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.

"Absolutely not," Jean-Pierre said when asked at the press briefing Monday. "This decision to visit the picket line was based on his own desire. This is what the president wanted — to stand with autoworkers. That's what you're going to see the president do tomorrow."
