United Auto Workers union endorses President Joe Biden for reelection over Trump

The United Auto Workers union is endorsing President Joe Biden for reelection this year, UAW President Shawn Fain announced Wednesday at a union conference in Washington, D.C.

“Today, I’m proud to stand up here with your International Executive Board and announce that the UAW is endorsing Joe Biden for President of the United States,” Fain said. “We will reelect Joe Biden.”

The union’s endorsement of a Democratic presidential candidate shouldn’t be surprising; however, it comes after months of apparent resistance by Fain, who said politicians, including Biden, would have to earn UAW endorsements.
