The Democratic Party voted against NAFTA, Clinton and "some" Dems vote with the GOP to pass it. In fact it was the FREE MARKET agenda pushed by the Conservative overclass that put this into effect.
We have spent the last four years reversing the damage Joe Biden inflicted over the last 47 years.
Biden’s record is a shameful roll call of the most catastrophic betrayals and blunders in our lifetime. He has spent his entire career on the wrong side of history. Biden voted for the NAFTA disaster, the single-worst trade deal ever enacted. He supported China’s entry into the World Trade Organization, one of the greatest economic disasters of all time.
After those Biden calamities the United States lost one in four manufacturing jobs. We laid off workers in Michigan, Ohio, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and many other states. They didn’t want to hear Biden’s hollow words of empathy. They wanted their jobs back.
Manufacturing has begun to recover from the punch thrown by the coronavirus pandemic, but factories still employed 733,000 fewer people in July than they did a year ago. Factories were in a slump even before the pandemic. After a strong year in 2018, President Trump’s trade war disrupted supply chains and raised manufacturing costs. Factories added just 29,000 jobs in all of last year. Manufacturing plays a smaller role in the U.S. economy than it used to, employing just 8.6% of the workforce. But manufacturing is a major employer in a number of key swing states, including Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa.

we will also provide tax credits to bring jobs out of China back to America, and we will impose tariffs on any company that leaves America to produce jobs overseas.
President Trump’s trade war with China has prompted some U.S. companies to rethink their supply chains. But in many cases, businesses have shifted production to other suppliers in Asia or Mexico. A survey last year by the American Chamber of Commerce in China found that just 6% of companies operating there were considering moving jobs to the United States.
