How union workers in battleground states could swing the election - PBS NewsHour
Sep 2, 2024
With a little more than two months to go to the general election, both Vice President Harris and former President Trump are fighting to win key Midwestern states like Michigan. Both candidates are determined to get as much of the union vote there as they can. But as economics correspondent Paul Solman reports, Trump has shown surprising strength among some workers.

A full transcript is here.
Sadly, the reporter here did not follow up the MAGA scab talking about Republicans supporting "lower taxes and support of family values" what would happen if a second Trump administration would limit his union benefits (at least in the video shown here), or his favorite candidate's (ahem) lack of family values.
MAGA scab said in this story: "I remember my mom crying for days when John F. Kennedy was assassinated."
And I'm sure his mom is crying in her grave at her son's political choices.
