Biden picks up endorsement of firefighters union as he courts labor

By John Wagner John Wagner National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow April 29 at 6:51 AM Former vice president Joe Biden won the backing Monday of the International Association of Fire Fighters, nailing down the support of the first major labor union to offer an endorsement in the crowded Democratic race for the White House.

“Joe’s a lot like our firefighters,” Harold Schaitberger, the IAFF’s general president, said in the video. “He’s a problem solver who cares deeply about America and committed to making our country better. He’s one of the staunchest advocates for working families.

“I appreciate the energy you showed when I got up here,” he said upon taking the stage. “Save it a little longer. I may need it in a few weeks.”

secupp Ah the 'Union', another democrat hack organization....

Moves like that are why unions have lost membership and clout to the point they are just about powerless.

Biden2020

secupp Even the female firefighters? 😟

Yawn

secupp Other than brainless AOC, is anyone surprised?

If you like you job you can keep your job? Why did he and Obama let so many jobs go overseas?

Haven't they checked their 401K lately?

Lol, firefighters won’t vote for him🤣😂😅PedoJoe

In related news Firefighters Union doesn’t check with members before endorsing

secupp The trump win shows union endorsements are meaningless.

Insert dril tweet here

The BEST of Biden in under 2 Mins

secupp No never no!

He could pick up every illegal alien in America & he still won't beat our great president. An easy win, especially when he & his son are indicted in that Ukraine collusion investigation.

Biden and Harris 2020!

What does Taylor Mason say?

In the end, I am left with the following question: “Can Joe beat Donald?’

From the article, no actual rank and file firefighter seemed to endorse him. Maybe I missed that daveweigel

Great work, Graphics!

BREAKING: New ABC Poll is horrendous fro the President's re-election hopes right now: 55% of respondents say that they 'definitely would not' vote for Trump in 2020. 28% say that they 'definitely would' vote for him.

Hell yeah. Biden is a man of the people. The MSM is already smearing him, trying to destroy him. We the people shall be his shield against their lies.

no amount of endorsement will wipe his slate on Anita Hill.

“The Democrats are all in a giant sinkhole…but they don’t know this yet.” - Rush Limbaugh

The Union will endorse but the rank and file firefighter will vote Trump.

Don't expect anything from Politicians......You have full capability to do everything. YOU ARE STILL SLEEPING. ......GET UP BROTHERS and SISTERS. ....WAKE UP...WAKE UP.....GOD ASKED ME TO WAKE YOU UP.

Let's wait and see 🤔 Biden is a weak candidate and the Democrats would be insane to nominate him. He represents everything that lost them the election in 2016.
