President Joe Biden is expected to receive the endorsement of the United Auto Workers (UAW) union during their political convention in Washington, D.C.

The UAW's endorsement is significant for Biden's support among blue-collar and union workers, especially in swing states like Michigan.

Despite initial concerns about Biden's pro-electric vehicle policies, the UAW has reached a contract agreement that improves wages and benefits for its workers.

UAW President Shawn Fain praised Biden's commitment to retirement security, a just transition to electric vehicles, and support for union organizing.

With 380,000 members, the UAW's endorsement could potentially influence legislation, sway undecided members and nonunion workers, and aid in Biden's reelection campaign.
