Powerful union endorses Joe Biden

One of the countrys largest public-service unions endorsed former vice president Joe Biden on Monday, further consolidating a key part of the Democratic coalition around the leader in the partys nomination contest.
The 35-member executive board of the American Federation of County, State and Municipal Employees met Monday afternoon, speaking by teleconference because of the coronavirus outbreak, and voted unanimously to support Biden.
We believe that its time to prepare to work like hell for Joe Biden and to bring the party together so were unified behind one candidate, AFSCME President Lee Saunders said in an interview with The Washington Post.
Members of the board used a lot of colorful language to describe how President Trumps policies have hurt workers, particularly in the Midwest, according to a person familiar with the proceedings who was not authorized to discuss a private meeting.

He really should just "call it a day" and let the rest of the party get on with the important work of DEFEATING TRUMP.

would have expected to be instrumental in smashing this epidemic before it turned into a pandemic also, not to be just...helpless victims of idiocy and extremism.
