Washington, D.C. - In another blow to American workers, Ford announcedit will idle the Michigan plant responsible for manufacturing the electric F-150. According to reports, the plant is expected to cease operations later this month and impact 750-800 workers. During her time in office, Vice President Kamala Harris constantly pushed for electric vehicles, particularly by casting the tie-breaking vote for the controversial Inflation Reduction Act while claiming she “brought manufacturing back to America.”
“On the day after Halloween, auto workers in Michigan are waking up to the cruelest of tricks and no treats,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “With her tie-breaking vote for the IRA, Vice President Harris personally guaranteed that billions in taxpayer dollars would go to electric vehicles and now working families in Michigan are worried about their jobs and families across the country are worried about their budget. Kamala Harris can try and run away from her EV mandate, but the chickens are already coming home to roost for her disastrous record."
Earlier this year, Ford announced it lost $1.3 billion dollars, or about $132,000 for every electric vehicle sold. Last week, Stellantis indefinitely laid off approximately 1,100 workers from its Warren Truck Assembly plant in Michigan, as the company prepares for a shift toward producing electrified vehicles.
