The article discussed United Autoworkers Union president Shawn Fain's sway in United States politics and his potential influence on the presidential election.

• Fain's bombastic style and successes in winning major concessions from the Detroit Three automakers have made him a particularly iconic modern union leader.

• The UAW's influence in Michigan, a notable swing state, makes it particularly notable that Fain publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for the presidency.
