Overview

• The United Auto Workers (UAW) union is expected to endorse President Joe Biden at its upcoming annual conference in Washington, D.C.
• The endorsement could be a significant boost for Biden’s campaign, given the UAW's influence in Michigan, a pivotal state in the 2024 presidential race.
• The UAW, which represents about 400,000 workers across a variety of industries, has been cautious in declaring its support.
• Discussions are also reportedly underway between the UAW and the White House to invite President Biden to address the union’s annual legislative conference next week.
• President Biden made history in September last year by becoming the first sitting U.S. president to join a UAW picket line during a major strike.
