Harris and Biden to Make Labor Day Pitch to Union Voters

September 2, 2024 · 6:48 am ET · Leave a Comment

“President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will appear together on Monday in Pittsburgh to celebrate labor unions, a crucial mobilizing force for Democrats, at their first joint campaign event since Ms. Harris replaced Mr. Biden at the top of the ticket in July,” the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Biden has called himself the most pro-union president in history, and last year he became the first sitting president to visit a picket line.”

“Now Ms. Harris is hoping to adopt that pro-worker mantle for herself. As vice president, she led a task force examining the ways that the government could help expand union membership. But business leaders generally see her as friendlier to their interests and more flexible on policy than Mr. Biden.”

Associated Press: Harris looks to Biden for a boost in Pennsylvania as the two are set to attend a Labor Day parade.
