The United Auto Workers (UAW) union endorsed Kamala Harris for US president on Wednesday, boosting the vice-president in the swing state of Michigan as her recently launched campaign ramps up.
UAW president Shawn Fain, who spoke by phone last week with Harris, praised her record “of delivering for the working class” and said she “will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with us in our war on corporate greed”.
The 370,000-member UAW said its executive board voted to endorse her after endorsing Joe Biden’s re-election bid in January. The US president withdrew from the race on 21 July.
Many UAW members live and work in Michigan, where the union is based. Biden and Donald Trump have made campaign appearances there.
Prior to Biden ending his re-election bid, Reuters reported that the UAW’s executive board met to discuss concerns about his ability to beat the former president.
