President Joe Biden spoke before an audience of union members in Philadelphia Saturday, June 17, 2023, in what was his first rally since he declared his bid for a second term and comes as his campaign engagements ramp up.
Biden begins his 2024 campaign in the same way he kicked off his run in 2020: in front of Pennsylvania laborers.
"I am a union man, period," Biden said at a union hall in Pittsburgh during his first rally in 2019.
And just as he did then, Biden is accompanying the rally with a roll out of union endorsements. The AFL-CIO, a federation of 60 national and international labor groups including the national teachers’ and government workers’ unions endorsed Biden on the eve of the rally.
The federation, which represents 12.5 million workers, is hosting the rally.
"The President and Vice President are humbled to have earned this historic groundswell of support nearly 17 months before the 2024 election," Julia Chavez Rodriguez, Biden’s campaign manager, said in a statement.
