Statement from Biden-Harris 2024 Campaign Manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez on Historic Union Endorsements

June 16th, 2023 by WCBC Radio

Today, AFL-CIO and 17 unions announced their endorsement of President Biden and Vice President Harris for reelection ahead of tomorrow’s rally with President Biden in Philadelphia. AFL-CIO’s endorsement marks their earliest presidential endorsement in their history.

“President Biden has been an unwavering champion of the labor movement his entire career, and today, AFL-CIO and 17 unions across the country endorsed him and Vice President Harris in an unprecedented show of solidarity and strength for our campaign,” said Julie Chavez Rodriguez, Biden-Harris Campaign Manager. “Joe Biden ran for president four years ago because he knows the way to grow the economy is to grow the middle class, and that starts with strong unions and labor representation. The President and Vice President are humbled to have earned this historic groundswell of support nearly 17 months before the 2024 election. With the early support from the labor movement, our campaign can tap into organized labor’s incomparable organizing abilities, which allows us to reach deep into communities and talk to voters about the tens of thousands of good-paying union jobs created by President Biden’s first-term agenda. 

“These endorsements are personal to President Biden and Vice President Harris. They are proud to be the most pro-labor administration in our country’s history, and this campaign will honor that commitment by working to earn each and every vote come November 2024.”
