Biden to speak at United Auto Workers event -- union

President Joe Biden will speak to United Auto Workers members on Wednesday at a legislative conference in Washington, the union said Tuesday, as he looks to court autoworkers before the 2024 presidential election.

UAW President Shawn Fain declined to comment Monday on reports that the union may endorse Biden's reeelction bid this week. Fain on Monday sharply criticized former President Donald Trump who is seeking a return to the White House telling Reuters the Republican "is pretty much contrary to everything we stand for."

Winning the support of auto workers could be crucial in the November presidential election in swing states like Michigan.
