United Farm Workers endorses Biden, says he's an 'authentic champion' for workers and their families
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.
is Biden showing the Democrats how to be the party of Labor again? can it be THIS EASY?!
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.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.
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.
The UFW endorsement came as Biden on Tuesday flew to the Detroit area to join a picket line with United Auto Workers members who are on strike against Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.
The farm workers’ union endorsed Biden in 2020 over Republican President Donald Trump, who leads the field of GOP candidates vying for the party’s 2024 presidential nomination and the chance to challenge Biden.
Julie Rodriguez said in a written statement that the UFW’s organizing has always been about fighting injustice and supporting working people, values that she said are at stake in the election.
She was a top White House adviser to Biden before he named her as campaign manager earlier this year.

Authentically authentic candidate per the Dem guidelines. Didn't stand up for rail workers then got heat for it, now he is a workers champion while also being business friendly. Incredible.
We need to vote for people that will actual codify real change and stop straddling the line. We need representation that is not some rich family's kids.
Is this the same farmers' union that Louis Rossmann said was sus?
