This union's white male working class members went heavily for Trump in 2016. Deplorable.
But many were back in the midterms and now still more are coming back because they trust Joe to...apparently stand between them and castrating white and black women. Or as the union president put it, something about that "connecting" they rejected with our female candidate, whose positions were as strongly pro-labor as his.

Happily, PoC tend to like and trust him also. A terrific auger for the future.

Notably, the endorsement is not of Sanders, who had the next-largest bloc of support after Trump in 2016's binary choice. He tried to woo them again this time, but is no longer a sole alternative to a female.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
