The United Farm Workers labor union is endorsing President Joe Biden for reelection in 2024. The union on Tuesday said the Democratic president has proven throughout his life that he's an “authentic champion” for workers and their families, regardless of race or national origin.

The United Farm Workers on Tuesday announced its endorsement of President Joe Biden for reelection, saying that the Democrat has proven throughout his life to be an “authentic champion” for workers and their families, regardless of race or national origin.

The farm workers’ union was co-founded by Cesar Chavez, the late grandfather of Julie Chavez Rodriguez, who Biden named as his 2024 campaign manager. Her father, Arturo Rodriquez, is a past UFW president.

Julie Rodriguez and “special guests” were expected to formally announce the endorsement later Tuesday at Muranaka Farms in the city of Moorpark in southern California.

    Gotta admit this was one hell of a PR stunt! Impressive it actually worked. Considering democrats as a whole are center right on an international scale it couln’t have been easy to convince working class folks they actually give a damn.

    But PR stunt aside, it still is one hell of a positive message in this incredibly fucked political landscape. Kudos to Biden.

      I won’t hold my breath but if he starts pushing for some of the policy decisions he claims to stand by I am an independent progressive and I don’t have anything personal against Biden. But I don’t like neoliberals. I need more than words to support Biden at this point… and trump? What the actual fuck who is this asshat? Would never even consider voting for him under any conditions, ever.
