we are there as residents in maui's hardest-hit region are allowed to return to their properties. well, good morning and good to be with you. i'm anne marie green. today president biden is putting his pro-union stance on display by joining the picket line to show solidarity with striking auto workers. uaw members first walked off the job 12 days ago at a small group of plants to demand better wages, a four-day workweek, and other benefits. the president's trip comes a day before former president trump also plans to visit union members in michigan. jared hill has more from new york. jared, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning, anne marie. this is not something we've seen before. a sitting president hitting the picket line with striking workers. but president biden has been pretty outspoken in his support for the united auto union workers. in a move the white house is calling "historic," president biden will travel to michigan today to stand with striking united auto workers union members.

>> after taking a look at the significant increase in salaries for the executives and growth of an industry, they should benefit from it. i always support the uaw. >> reporter: his visit comes a day before former president trump also plans to rally current and former union members in michigan. the former president is skipping the second gop debate to be there. in a social media post, he claimed mr. biden's visit is only happening because of him. >> both parties need to pay more attention to -- do more to support us, and not just at election time. >> reporter: multiple top democrats and some republican lawmakers have also visited the picket lines since the autoworkers first walked off the job 12 days ago. >> we've got to share this wealth and share the success. >> reporter: negotiations between the union and big three automakers continue without a notable breakthrough. last friday, the uaw expanded its strikes against general motors and stellantis factories. workers are asking for a 36% raise over four years and other benefits and protections. >> they would like to see all of

our younger employees and our retirees all be able to support themselves. >> reporter: ford was spared in last week's strike expansion with the union citing progress in their talks, but yesterday te company said it's pausing construction of a $3.5 billion electric vehicle battery plant in michigan until it is confident that it can run the factory competitively. all right. so the biden administration does not have a formal role in those negotiations, but something interesting here, anne marie, is that all of this is coming at a time when labor is getting a lot of support from the public. about 67% of americans are in favor of labor unions, according to a recent gallup poll. and all of this happening just before an election. >> yeah. all that has to be taken into account. jared, thank you. >> of course. we heard from senator robert menendez monday for the first time since he was indicted for an alleged corruption scheme last week. as nikole killion reports, he is standing strong amid calls for his resignation. >> reporter: new jersey senator bob menendez says he's bracing

4:35 am
history of my family facing confiscation in cuba. >> reporter: menendez claimed over the weekend that his critics were rushing to judge a latino, something disputed by fellow democratic congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez. >> you know, as a latina, there are absolutely ways in which there is systemic bias, but i think what is here in this indictment is quite clear. >> reporter: new jersey governor phil murphy has called for menendez's immediate resignation and half of new jersey's congressional delegation believes he should step down. that includes congressman andy kim, who announced he will primary the three-term senator next year. >> i am very concerned that if senator menendez continues on, that he could put this seat in jeopardy. >> that was nikole killion reporting. police in the uk say they have opened a sex crimes investigation following accusations against actor and comedian russell brand. in reports from several british news organization, four women have accused brand of sexual

4:37 am
on 4 of the 12 spending bills needed to keep the government running. former president trump is campaigning in south carolina. he posted on social media that he thinks the public will blame president biden if there is a shutdown, so he's advising republicans, unless you get everything, shut it down. >> funding the government is one of the most basic fundamental responsibilities of congress. and if republicans in the house don't start doing their job, we should stop electing them. >> reporter: the white house says politics could harm millions of americans who will be impacted by a government shutdown. skyler henry, cbs news, capitol hill. ukraine's military claims to have killed a top russian ukraine special forces say the admiral along with 33 other officers was killed in a missile attack on crimea last friday. if confirmed, the death deals a major blow to the russian navy. meanwhile, ukraine reports russian attacks near odessa yesterday killed two people. the attacks come as ukrainian president, volodymyr zelenskyy,
