Join the Revolution with the latest news on the United Auto Workers’ endorsement of President Joe Biden! The UAW, known for endorsing Democratic candidates, officially threw their support behind Biden at their annual conference in Washington, D.C. UAW President Shawn Fain praised Biden for his history of supporting auto workers during the 2008-2010 industry crisis, drawing a sharp contrast with former President Donald Trump, whom he labeled a “scab” and accused of representing billionaires over hardworking Americans. The endorsement comes as Biden touts himself as the most pro-union president in the country’s history, even joining a picket line during a strike against major automakers last fall.

But hold onto your hats, folks! Trump made a play for the UAW’s support, trying to appeal to organized labor anger over Biden’s push for more electric vehicles. The former president accused Biden of cozying up to “bloodsucking globalists” and sounded the alarm about the potential devastation of American car manufacturers under Biden’s green energy agenda. It’s clear that Trump is on the side of American workers and their jobs, while Biden’s policies risk putting hardworking union members out of work.
But wait, there’s more! Even White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre admitted there’s ongoing tension between the UAW and Biden, specifically regarding his approach to the Israel-Gaza war and his stance on domestic manufacturing. Conservative voices, such as Job Creators Network president and CEO Alfredo Ortiz, are also speaking out against Biden’s economic and environmental platforms, warning that his green energy agenda could cost union members their livelihoods.
So, there you have it, folks! The battle for the UAW’s endorsement has come to a head, and it’s clear that Biden’s pro-union rhetoric doesn’t quite align with the potential impact of his green energy policies. Stay tuned for more updates as the political drama unfolds!
