WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will head to events championing unionized labor at an inflection point for the movement, with workers in new industries and geographies seeking to organize.
Biden, who will be making his third stop in Pennsylvania in a week, will first travel to Milwaukee on Monday for the Milwaukee Area Labor Council’s annual Laborfest. He will then travel to Pittsburgh, home to a premier Labor Day parade, which is being held for the first time in three years.
Both states with presidential visits on the Labor Day schedule feature must-watch Senate races, with Wisconsin Democratic Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes challenging incumbent Republican Sen. Ron Johnson in a race that’s rated Tilt Republican by Inside Elections, while Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman faces Republican Mehmet Oz in the open-seat race in Pennsylvania, which is rated a Toss-up.
