The United Auto Workers (UAW), one of the largest and most influential labor unions in the United States, has endorsed President Joe Biden for re-election. The endorsement, which comes from a union that represents approximately 380,000 members, underscores the strong support that Biden has among blue-collar workers and the middle class.
The UAW's decision to endorse Biden is driven by his long-standing commitment to fighting for the interests of American workers. The union pointed to Biden's efforts during the 2008-2009 financial crisis when he played a crucial role in saving American automakers and protecting the jobs of auto union workers. Furthermore, as president, Biden has overseen significant growth in the manufacturing sector, which has contributed to the strengthening of the middle class.
