President Joe Biden sought to capitalize off his recent endorsement by the United Auto Workers union, joining members volunteering at a phone bank in the crucial swing state of Michigan.

Biden touted gains for organized labor under his administration, saying their efforts to fight for higher wages had helped American workers across the board and telling UAW members he would need their support to win reelection.
