Labor unions unite behind Kamala Harris but concern emerges about potential VP pick Mark Kelly
Vice President Kamala Harris, now the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, has garnered strong support from major labor unions. However, concerns have emerged about the potential vice-presidential candidacy of Senator Mark Kelly due to his reluctance to endorse the PRO Act—a critical labor reform bill. While some union leaders express apprehension about Kelly's commitment to labor, others emphasize his track record and argue that his stance on the PRO Act should not overshadow his overall support for workers. The debate highlights the strategic considerations of the Harris campaign as it balances union endorsements with electoral dynamics, especially in swing states like Arizona.
