With the clock ticking down to Election Day, labor allies of Democratic nominee Joe Biden are in a race against time to reach working-class voters and mobilize support for the former Vice President.
In recent weeks, the Biden campaign has intensified its outreach efforts to union members and other blue-collar workers, recognizing the crucial role that these voters play in key battleground states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
One of Biden’s most valuable assets in this effort is Senator Kamala Harris, his running mate and a staunch advocate for labor rights. Harris, who has a long history of supporting unions and working-class Americans, has been crisscrossing the country in recent days, speaking at rallies, town halls, and labor events to energize the base and make the case for why Biden is the best choice for working families.
Harris’s message is clear: Biden will fight for policies that benefit working-class Americans, such as raising the minimum wage, expanding access to affordable healthcare, and protecting workers’ rights to organize and bargain collectively.
Labor unions have also been working tirelessly to get out the vote for Biden, mobilizing their members to volunteer, make phone calls, and knock on doors in the final days of the campaign. The AFL-CIO, the largest federation of labor unions in the country, has endorsed Biden and is actively working to ensure that union members turn out in record numbers on Election Day.
Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, labor allies of Biden are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to reach working-class voters. In addition to traditional campaign tactics such as door-to-door canvassing and phone banking, they are also harnessing the power of social media and digital organizing to connect with voters in new and innovative ways.
With early voting already underway in many states and Election Day fast approaching, time is of the essence for Harris and other labor allies of Biden. The stakes could not be higher, and the outcome of the election will have a profound impact on the future of working-class Americans across the country.
As they sprint to the finish line, Harris and her fellow labor allies are working tirelessly to ensure that their message reaches every corner of the country and that working-class voters have a voice in this crucial election. The fate of the nation hangs in the balance, and the power of the working class will be a deciding factor on November 3rd.
