Vice President Kamala Harris is in Detroit today, announcing $100 million in funding to help suppliers prepare to make parts for EVs. The White House says that the money will keep good-paying, union manufacturing jobs in the country. The funding will come from the Department of Energy as part of the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Vice President Harris is announcing the program today in Detroit, alongside Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm, and Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su. Michigan is an important swing state, making this an important time to convince autoworkers that the White House is serving them ahead of this year's election.
