“It’s time for millionaires and billionaires and big corporations to pay their fair share. I can get that done, but I need you badly. So are you with me?” Biden said.
Biden didn’t mention Donald Trump during a Saturday rally with union members in Philadelphia. Instead, the president contrasted his platform with his twice-indicted Republican rival’s agenda. It’s a sign Biden wants to put populist economic issues — rather than legal controversies — at the center of his pitch for a second term.
If Republicans win back power and repeal funding for new roads, bridges and clean energy projects, Biden warned the union workers, it means “they’re coming for your jobs.”The economic focus aims to help Biden frame the election as a choice between himself and the GOP, while skirting the classified documents case against Trump and other controversies that have dominated the headlines.
Biden started his 2020 campaign at a Pittsburgh union hall. His decision to begin his reelection run with union members 300 miles east shows how much he’ll count on organized labor to deliver in Pennsylvania and other states — such as Wisconsin and Michigan — with large union presences. Biden is trying to strengthen and grow his votes among union members, Harris said, adding, “But he’s also looking to the larger population of voters who are similar.”With the debt-ceiling crisis resolved, Biden is ramping up his political activities, which have mostly been conducted behind the scenes since announcing his reelection run in April.
