Why Are Democrats Sticking With Biden? - Ask Organized Labor

Lauren Kaori Gurley and Jeff Stein at The Washington Post report that many of the Nation’s most powerful Unions confirm they are continuing to back President Biden, despite faltering support among some top Democrats, pointing to his willingness to support their priorities on almost every issue during his first term.  The United Steelworkers, Communications Workers of America, Laborers’ International Union of North America and Unite Here, among other Unions, confirmed to The Washington Post that they plan to continue to support Biden, despite his disastrous debate performance last month.  “Put us in the group of doubling down unequivocally.  He’s done more for our Members than any President in my lifetime,” said Brent Booker, who serves as President of the Laborers’ International Union of North America - which represents some 400,000 Workers in construction and other sectors.  Seth Schuster, a spokesperson for the Biden Campaign, said in a statement the President “has always had Union Workers’ backs - and he’s grateful to know they have his.”
