Democrats running to challenge Trump next year raced to show solidarity with the auto workers striking as they negotiate with General Motors.

. Workers set up picket lines at dozens of plants and parts warehouses around the country. Talks picked up again Monday morning as the sides try to resolve differences over benefits and wages.

"It's clear that this administration doesn't have a manufacturing policy whatsoever. There's no strategy to keep jobs in the United States," Sen. Gary Peters, a Michigan Democrat who faces a competitive reelection bid next year, told MSNBC on Monday morning. The candidates praised the workers for going on strike — as they have done repeatedly this year during work stoppages as they vie for support from organized labor. They also took swings at GM, continuing a trend of criticizing companies for what they call putting profits over workers.

Biden also wrote that he is "proud to stand with UAW to demand fair wages and benefits for their members." He added that "America's workers deserve better."
