Vice President Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) are set to play up their support for organized labor during an appearance at a union hall in Detroit Thursday, just two days after Harris named Walz to be her running mate.
The duo was certified earlier this week to top the Democratic ticket in November, and they have hit the campaign trail in recent days, attacking former President Trump and his No. 2 Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio). Harris has also leaned into President Biden's pro-union stance, and the demographic has largely rallied around the vice president after Biden bowed out of the race and endorsed her.
Harris has secured backing from the AFL-CIO — the nation’s largest labor federation with 12.5 million members across 60 different unions — and the United Auto Workers (UAW). UAW President Shawn Fain joined the Democratic nominee on the trail Wednesday, praising Harris for being a "champion for the working class."
The event is scheduled to begin at 3:15 p.m. EDT.
