The United Farm Workers on Tuesday announced its endorsement of President Joe Biden for reelection, saying that the Democrat has proven throughout his life to be an “authentic champion” for workers and their families, regardless of race or national origin.

The farm workers’ union was co-founded by Cesar Chavez, the late grandfather of Julie Chavez Rodriguez, who Biden named as his 2024 campaign manager. Her father, Arturo Rodriquez, is a past UFW president.

Julie Rodriguez and “special guests” were expected to formally announce the endorsement later Tuesday at Muranaka Farms in the city of Moorpark in southern California.

    Right thing to do and political motivation aside the “good for the nation as a whole” cannot possibly be understated. We NEED less outsourcing and dependencies on foreign entities. The CHIPS act was a great step and I hope Intel continues with their commitments. We need to ensure similar things happen in the automotive space and beyond.
