United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain said his union was “not going to rush” an endorsement for Vice President Harris after President Biden dropped out of the presidential race Sunday.
The UAW in January endorsed Biden, who endorsed Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee Sunday after he exited the race amid concerns about his age and mental acuity following a disastrous debate at the the end of June.
Several major labor unions have endorsed Harris since the announcement, including the AFL-CIO, the United Steelworkers, the American Federation of Teachers, the United Food and Commercial Workers and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
But the UAW is not yet on that list.

Waiting for the payoff promise.
Neither one of her parents were born in the US even worst than Obama
Maybe not with all the union jobs going to Mexico and over seas. We will find out soon enough.
Yep, the rats are going to cost the UAW thousands of Jobs with the climate BS but the Union heads are in bed with the DNC. I don’t what the breakdown is among rank and file is. The ones l talked to in the past were clueless but that was years ago.
Doesn’t matter if the fat cat union leaders endorse her or not, the blue collar rank and file are not going to vote for Harris, period.
Exactly!
Neither parent were born here or were citizens at the time of her birth. They were here on visas and one had expired. She’s not eligible to be president of the United States. She is not a “natural born citizen” but a “native born.” It’s clearly stated in the US constitution but overlooked. Obama’s mother was a citizen so he was eligible.
Oh yes they will. If they want another multi billion dollar bail out they’ll fall in line.
Not really.
AKA: The check hasn’t cleared yet.
Here is the U.S. Supreme Court interpreting the Constitution:
Wong Kim Ark at 169 U.S. 658-59:
It thus clearly appears that, by the law of England for the last three centuries, beginning before the settlement of this country and continuing to the present day, aliens, while residing in the dominions possessed by the Crown of England, were within the allegiance, the obedience, the faith or loyalty, the protection, the power, the jurisdiction of the English Sovereign, and therefore every child born in England of alien parents was a natural-born subject unless the child of an ambassador or other diplomatic agent of a foreign State or of an alien enemy in hostile occupation of the place where the child was born.III. The same rule was in force in all the English Colonies upon this continent down to the time of the Declaration of Independence, and in the United States afterwards, and continued to prevail under the Constitution as originally established.
United States v. Wong Kim Ark at 169 U.S. 649, 662-63 (1898)
In United States v. Rhodes (1866), Mr. Justice Swayne, sitting in the Circuit Court, said: "All persons born in the allegiance of the King are natural-born subjects, and all persons born in the allegiance of the United States are natural-born citizens. Birth and allegiance go together. Such is the rule of the common law, and it is the common law of this country, as well as of England. . . . We find no warrant for the opinion that this great principle of the common law has ever been changed in the United States. It has always obtained here with the same vigor, and subject only to the same exceptions, since as before the Revolution."
14A-1 "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside."
Slaughterhouse Cases, 83 U.S. 36, 73 (1872)
The first observation we have to make on this clause is that it puts at rest both the questions which we stated to have been the subject of differences of opinion. It declares that persons may be citizens of the United States without regard to their citizenship of a particular State, and it overturns the Dred Scott decision by making all persons born within the United States and subject to its jurisdiction citizens of the United States. That its main purpose was to establish the citizenship of the negro can admit of no doubt. The phrase, "subject to its jurisdiction" was intended to exclude from its operation children of ministers, consuls, and citizens or subjects of foreign States born within the United States.
Wong Kim Ark, 169 U. S. 702.
The Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, in the declaration that"all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside,"
contemplates two sources of citizenship, and two only: birth and naturalization. Citizenship by naturalization can only be acquired by naturalization under the authority and in the forms of law. But citizenship by birth is established by the mere fact of birth under the circumstances defined in the Constitution. Every person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, becomes at once a citizen of the United States, and needs no naturalization.
If the UAW doesn’t support Harris...
they’ll be labeled “rashist”, not ‘rushist’. No need to rush since in the end, they have to choice but to not be racist. If you don’t support or vote for Kamala, you’re not black, or something like that.
