Biden Speaks to Crowd of Labor Union Supporters; Tells Philly Crowd "Unions Built America--Not Wall St."

At his first political rally since announcing his re-election  campaign for president in April, Joe Biden told a crowd of labor union supporters in Philadelphia yesterday: "Wall Street didn't build America--you did," The Guardian website reports today (June 18, 2023).


"If the investment bankers of this country went on strike tomorrow, no one would notice," Biden said during a speech which alluded to his blue-collar childhood roots in Scranton, Penn.


Yesterday's rally was hosted by the AFL-CIO, a federation of 60 labor unions representing 12.5 million workers in the U.S.,  which has endorsed Biden for his re-election in 2024.
