WATCH LIVE: President Biden delivers remarks celebrating Labor Day in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
President Biden is making his third trip to Pennsylvania in less than a week and returning just two days after his predecessor, Donald Trump, staged his own rally there — illustrating the battleground state's importance to both parties as Labor Day kicks off a nine-week sprint to crucial midterm elections.
Mr. Biden added in that speech that"MAGA Republicans are destroying American democracy," referring to Trump's"Make America Great Again" campaign cry and pointing to incidents like last year's mob attack on the U.S. Capitol. Mary Kay Henry, president of the 2-million-member Service Employees International Union, called Mr. Biden championing unions heading into the midterms"critical" and said that the labor movement must"mobilize in battlegrounds across the country to ensure that working people turn out."
This year, the oldest president in the nation's history has faced speculation about if he'll seek a second term in 2024 — though he's insisted that's his intention, and the pressure has dissipated some in recent weeks, amid a string of policy and political successes for Biden and his party.
