United Steelworkers appears likely to endorse President Biden for the 2024 election, with the union set to decide on its endorsement in the coming weeks.

Union President David McCall said Tuesday that an endorsement for former President Trump would not align with what happened during his first administration. “[A Trump presidency] didn’t work too well for us last time,” McCall said in a Fox News interview Tuesday. “He put a lot of anti-union people in his administration.”

McCall added that Trump has not reached out to him, and that the former president’s campaign didn’t even respond to its issues survey. The statement comes after Biden opposed the sale of U.S. Steel to a Japanese conglomerate. The president said it was “vital” that the industrial giant remain domestically owned, garnering praise from the union.

The 1.2-million-member union endorsed Biden in 2020, once projecting a massive Biden campaign sign onto the side of a Chicago skyscraper. The move would be consistent with Biden’s focus on unions. Biden has dubbed himself the “most pro-union president in American history” and made firsts last year by joining striking auto workers on the picket lines in Michigan.

1. Every union should LOUDLY give endorsement.

And they should state why, as in this coming endorsement. A union brother or sister voting for a republican is working toward their own demise.
Even when stocking campaign merch, republicans go out of their way to buy non-union goods.

Even here in NE Ohio when we had a nurses strike, democrat representatives visited the strikers to offer support. They stood shoulder to shoulder on the sidewalk with them. JD Vance dropped in one day and stood across the 4 lane road and addressed them with a bullhorn. He didn't want his picture taken on a picket line because it would shame him in the republican party.

Just how much of a wake up call do people need? I'm sure many of the USW workers will try to wear their red hats into the polls in November.
