Vice President Kamala Harris reeled in a major endorsement Wednesday as the UAW International Executive Board voted to endorse her presidential bid.
Our job in this election is to defeat Donald Trump and elect Kamala Harris to build on her proven track record of delivering for the working class, stated UAW President Shawn Fain. We stand at a crossroads in this country. We can put a billionaire back in office who stands against everything our union stands for, or we can elect Kamala Harris who will stand shoulder to shoulder with us in our war on corporate greed.
The UAW had previously given a strong endorsement to President Joe Biden, but until Wednesday had not said whether that endorsement would extend to Harris, who has already secured the pledge of enough delegates to next months Democratic National Convention to become the official nominee.
In an appearance last week on MSNBC, Fain said the union planned to take its time and carefully consider its options.
