Democrats are, if it's even possible, more beholden to the domestic auto industry than Republicans.

We are never getting a president who will let Chinese EVs into the US.

I was talking to my dad about this, not only is it tons of jobs that the automakers provide, during war time and other extreme times such as covid, automakers can transition to making other things such as ventilators at a rapid pace.
