The United Auto Workers (UAW) has launched a nationwide campaign to support Kamala Harris in the upcoming November 5 election. The union is mobilizing its one million active and retired members to vote for Harris, aiming to provide a significant boost in key battleground states. The UAW has pledged $1.5 million to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) as part of this effort. In 2020, UAW members accounted for 9.2% of the Biden-Harris votes in Michigan, highlighting their influential role in elections. The campaign reflects a strategic move by the UAW to counter former President Donald Trump, as they aim to rally support for Harris across the United States.
