Summary

Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign failed to connect with low-income workers due to a perceived lack of listening, according to AFL-CIO, the largest federation of labor unions in the US.

While union members largely supported Harris, many low-income voters backed Trump, swayed by his messaging on economic insecurity.

Despite Biden’s pro-labor policies, including infrastructure investments, the AFL-CIO now faces challenges under a likely Trump presidency.

AFL-CIO emphasized labor unions’ resilience and commitment to fighting rollbacks while advancing organizing efforts.

With public approval for unions at a near 60-year high, the labor movement plans both defensive and offensive strategies to protect workers.

    That home loan was fucking worthless to boot. You know what would save Americans money? Directly building homes and selling them at cost.

      Building new homes was part of the campaign plan right?

        Can you link me that part of the plan, where the US government actually builds homes that private industry won’t?

          I can see why you could be concerned about the details of her home building plan (I am too). But let’s face it, this election was not lost because Kamala did not provide policy details. I would love for campaigns to revolve around these, but they don’t.
