The United Auto Workers (UAW) union has officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for President of the United States. The endorsement was confirmed by the UAW International Executive Board on Wednesday, July 31, ahead of a mass rally in Detroit. This endorsement positions Harris against Republican presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election. UAW President Shawn Fain emphasized Harris' commitment to standing with the union in their fight against corporate greed. The endorsement is expected to bolster Harris' support among blue-collar workers in key industrial states like Michigan and Wisconsin. The UAW's decision to endorse Harris follows a period of assessment of her approach to key issues.
