Biden expands support among unions

[RandySF]

Joe Biden is picking up support from union groups, with labor leaders eyeing the former vice president as key to winning back the many rank-and-file voters who backed President Trump in key battleground states in the last election.

Since Biden’s Super Tuesday turnaround, a number of unions in the next round of primary voting states have begun backing his campaign. On Sunday, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) also announced they would back Biden after a vote by members.

Those moves reflect both labor’s unease over his rival Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-Vt.) “Medicare for All” proposal and broadly a sense that Biden has the momentum to seal the nomination and can win back union workers in the general election.

Biden won the endorsement last month of the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU), which had endorsed Sanders in 2016.

1. His additional support is staggering now

While Bernie is losing ground fast now. Tonight could be Bernie's last chance. I think he'll lose once again, and from the voters decision at the ballot box.
