Washington CNN —The United Auto Workers union on Wednesday endorsed President Joe Biden, a long-awaited announcement that is an important pickup for the president.
Biden won the endorsement of the UAW in the 2020 campaign, even though many rank-and-file members supported Trump.
Ahead of endorsing Biden, UAW President Shawn Fain said the choice union workers face in 2024 “isn’t about who you like.
… Donald Trump stands against everything we stand for as a union – as a society.”The choice between Trump and Biden, Fain said, was clear.
Trump has found support among the rank-and-file of the UAW despite Fain’s strong criticisms and union leadership’s consistent support of Democratic candidates.
