On January 24, 2024, President Joe Biden received the endorsement of the United Auto Workers, one of the most powerful unions in the nation. This endorsement comes at a time when the Biden regime has been desperately trying to pick up working class voters.
UAW President Shawn Fain announced the union’s endorsement of Biden in his comments during a UAW political conference in Washington, DC, which came before Joe Biden’s speech to the conference on January 24.
“If our endorsements must be earned, Joe Biden has earned it,” Fain said at the conference after he gave a long speech in which he drew comparisons and contrasts between Biden’s and Trump’s policies. He specifically cited Biden’s move to join a UAW picket line in the fall of 2023 as one of the key reasons for endorsing Biden’s re-election bid.
Biden enthusiastically accepted a UAW baseball cap and said to the union members he had been “damn proud” to join the UAW picket line. Curiously, pro-Palestinian hecklers interrupted the speech at one point by loudly pushing for a ceasefire in Gaza. However, their protest was drowned out by union workers loudly chanting “UAW!”
The auto workers’ leadership voted to issue their endorsement of Biden on January 23, the very day former President Donald Trump won the New Hampshire primary, which now makes a Trump v. Biden rematch inevitable.
Michigan, where the UAW has a large presence of members, is a key battleground state that Biden and Trump will be slugging it out in. In 2016, Trump did the unthinkable by pulling off major upsets against then-Democrat rival Hilary Clinton in Rust Belt states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin by making major inroads with white working class voters.
While Trump has some appeal among rank-and-file union voters, he should not bother trying to outreach with union leadership.
Those people are bonafide parasites and they’re only interested in keeping the likes of Joe Biden in office in order to maintain their gravy train of benefits and other forms of largesse.
If Trump wants to make inroads with working class voters, he should stick to his America First agenda of immigration restriction, economic nationalism, and opposition to anti-white hate.
