During the campaign and throughout his presidency, Joe Biden has cultivated an image as a supporter of working-class Americans, publicly backing striking auto workers and calling to raise taxes on the wealthy. But after securing a key union endorsement this month, Biden will travel to Florida to hobnob with Miami elites at an event costing as much as $250,000 per head to attend.
Biden joined strikers on the picket line last year as the United Auto Workers conducted a major strike against Detroit firms, including Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis. Earlier this week, the UAW reciprocated his support, endorsing his 2024 presidential campaign.
