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.
All of politics is PR. But you have to consider our US politics not on a global scale, but on a local one. These unions aren't going to say "you're not far left enough for us to support." Just like pretty much everyone else who votes non-Republican, they're going to vote for whoever matches their ideology the closest, even if it's not as close as we'd like it to be.
