President Joe Biden is facing calls from within his party to reconsider his reelection bid, prompting him to turn to labor unions for backing. The 81-year-old Democrat is scheduled to meet with the executive council of the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of trade unions in the U.S.
The meeting comes at a crucial time for Biden, following concerns about his debate performance against Donald Trump and questions about his ability to compete in the upcoming election. Despite these challenges, Biden aims to leverage his longstanding relationships with union leaders to shore up support.
