In the past 24 hours, Donald Trump has faced significant challenges, particularly since Vice President Kamala Harris has taken center stage in the Democratic ticket, replacing President Biden.

On Labor Day, it’s important to acknowledge and thank union workers, unions, and the labor movement for their contributions. The Midas Touch Network stands in solidarity with all workers and union members, using its platform to support and amplify their voices.

This Labor Day serves as a stark reminder of the contrast between the labor-friendly stance of Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz, and the actions of Donald Trump.

Just a few months ago, Trump visited a non-union shop in Michigan, pretending it was a union shop after paying $20,000 from his political action committee.

During his visit, Trump told workers that he didn’t support their picketing efforts, while non-union workers held up signs saying, “Union Workers for Trump.”

The past 24 hours have also seen Trump reacting strongly to an Ipsos/ABC poll that shows him trailing Vice President Kamala Harris by six points among likely voters.

In his desperation, Trump has resorted to spreading misinformation, such as creating fake AI-generated images to instill fear about Harris’s policies.

One of these images falsely claims that Harris pledged free healthcare for undocumented immigrants, while another depicts a violent scenario supposedly resulting from her policies.

These fearmongering tactics are in stark contrast to the positive, pro-labor messaging of the Harris campaign.

For instance, a recent ad released by Kamala Harris, which aired during the Georgia-Clemson game, focuses on addressing the financial concerns of American families, promising tax cuts, affordable housing, and support for the middle class.

Trump’s response to these developments has been to continue his negative campaign, relying on lies and AI-generated images to attack his opponents.

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz, have been surging in the polls, with Harris holding a net positive favorability, unlike Trump and JD Vance, who are both facing net negative ratings.

This Labor Day, it’s crucial to recognize the ongoing struggle between these two vastly different campaigns—one driven by hope, opportunity, and fairness, and the other by fear, misinformation, and division.

As Trump’s campaign falters, the rise of Kamala Harris signifies a rude awakening for the former president, as the American people gravitate towards a future of compassion and economic security.
