AFL-CIO Unanimously Endorses Vice President Kamala Harris for President

Following a vote of its Executive Council, which represents 60 unions and 12.5 million workers, on Monday the AFL-CIO unanimously endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for President in the 2024 election.

“From day one, Vice President Kamala Harris has been a true partner in leading the most pro-labor administration in history,” said AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler. “At every step in her distinguished career in public office, she’s proven herself a principled and tenacious fighter for working people and a visionary leader we can count on. From taking on Wall Street and corporate greed to leading efforts to expand affordable child care and support vulnerable workers, she’s shown time and again that she’s on our side. With Kamala Harris in the White House, together we’ll continue to build on the powerful legacy of the Biden-Harris administration to create good union jobs, grow the labor movement and make our economy work for all of us.”

"There has been no greater champion in the White House for America’s workers than President Joe Biden," President Shuler and Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond wrote in a separate statement in response to President Biden's announcement one day earlier. "He has had workers’ backs every day of his presidency, constantly pushing his administration to use every tool in its toolbox to create and protect our jobs, defend our rights in the workplace, and invest in our economic security. President Biden’s legacy as the most pro-labor president in history, and that of the Biden–Harris White House, is indisputable." Read more about that extraordinary legacy here.
