                          FIGHTING FOR DETROIT

  (Mr. THANEDAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THANEDAR. Mr. Speaker, the last time Donald Trump visited 
Detroit, he insulted our city, saying the whole country would end up 
like Detroit if Kamala Harris was elected. Mr. Trump promised to bring 
manufacturing jobs and economic success.
  For the last 8 months, we have lost 68,000 jobs. Unemployment has hit 
a 4-year high. His tariffs have hurt Detroit's auto industry.
  Mr. Speaker, Detroit does not need any more of Donald Trump's lies 
and insults. Detroit needs affordable housing, not Trump's insults. 
Detroit needs skilled jobs, not Trump's insults.
  Mr. Speaker, I am fighting for Detroit, fighting to bring costs down, 
and make life more affordable for all.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from 
engaging in personalities toward the President.
