Summary

Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign failed to connect with low-income workers due to a perceived lack of listening, according to AFL-CIO, the largest federation of labor unions in the US.

While union members largely supported Harris, many low-income voters backed Trump, swayed by his messaging on economic insecurity.

Despite Biden’s pro-labor policies, including infrastructure investments, the AFL-CIO now faces challenges under a likely Trump presidency.

AFL-CIO emphasized labor unions’ resilience and commitment to fighting rollbacks while advancing organizing efforts.

With public approval for unions at a near 60-year high, the labor movement plans both defensive and offensive strategies to protect workers.

    No, not by definition. There are many reasons to cast a vote not all votes are because the person is worth voting for.

    For example i voted for Biden and he wasnt worth the time it took to roll out of bed that morning.

    As for harris well, I dont support genocidal monsters who throw minorities under the bus to appease mega donors. Also why i was loathe to vote biden the first time around.
