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.
Wow! Now that I know the Biden administration implemented a new anti-redlining framework for banks that may come into effect in 2026 (provided Trump doesn’t scrap it) I realize that he wasn’t a lame duck! He was the most transformational orogressive president since FDR! LOL.
It’s so incredibly easy to find stuff he’s done that it’s obvious you’re just acting stupid
(or maybe you aren’t acting)
Nothing he has done is exceptional. He was a lame duck and his accomplishments are middling.
