The United Auto Workers (UAW) union has formally endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president, citing her energy and the excitement she brings to the campaign. This endorsement comes just hours after UAW President Shawn Fain criticized former President Donald Trump for his lack of support for union workers and his focus on big donors over blue-collar workers.
Fain slammed Trump, calling him a 'lapdog for the billionaire class' and highlighting his divisive rhetoric. He also praised Joe Biden for stepping aside and doing the 'honorable thing,' leading to Harris's candidacy.
Regarding Trump's recent remarks at the National Association of Black Journalists convention, Fain described them as 'pathetic' and typical of the former president's behavior. He criticized Trump for resorting to name-calling and division, stating that such actions do not dignify a response.
The UAW's decision to endorse Harris reflects the union's belief in her candidacy and the energy she brings to the campaign. Fain emphasized the importance of having a leader who puts the country first and does the right thing, contrasting this with his views on Trump's leadership style.
Overall, the UAW's endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris signals a shift in support away from Trump and towards a candidate who resonates with blue-collar workers and prioritizes the interests of the working class.
