CLAIM: The Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, Illinois, on Monday evening accused former President Donald Trump of having “lied [to] and abandoned” auto workers in Lordstown, Ohio, after General Motors (GM) CEO Mary Barra closed the plant in 2019.
VERDICT: False. Trump, as president, lobbied Barra endlessly to keep the Lordstown plant open and, once the plant closed, to reopen it with new investment. Soon after the plant’s closure, Trump began brokering a deal to reopen it.
