PHILADELPHIA (AP) — President Joe Biden plans to promote his pro-labor record at his first major political rally since he formalized his reelection campaign. Saturday afternoon In Philadelphia he’ll appear alongside union members to make his case that his economic agenda is boosting the middle class. His campaign says Biden will “lay out the core principles of his economic message” in his remarks. Biden also plans to talk about how a sweeping climate, tax and health care package he signed into law last year has cut the cost of prescription drugs and lowered insurance premiums. Several of the nation’s most powerful unions officially endorsed Biden’s campaign on Friday.
