The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers held a conference, and President Biden took the opportunity to speak about his upbringing compared to that of his opponent. He highlighted how some people believe inheriting wealth is the best way to get rich, while he believes hard work and paying taxes are for everyone. Biden used this chance to take jabs at Trump’s lifestyle, particularly his Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Fla., and contrasted it with his hometown of Scranton, Pa.
Biden has been focusing on rebuilding the coalition that brought him to the White House in 2020. He has been targeting union workers specifically, particularly those who shifted from blue to red in 2016, contributing to Trump’s victory in states like Michigan. However, Biden was able to win back these crucial states in the 2020 election. The president often touts himself as the most pro-union president in history and has shown his support for unions by joining a picket line with autoworkers last year.
Overall, Biden is working hard to secure the support of union workers and emphasize his commitment to their interests as he campaigns for reelection. His efforts to connect with this crucial demographic may prove critical in determining the outcome of the upcoming election.
