The president of United States, Joe Bidenboasted this Saturday of the economic achievements of his Administration and asked for the support of the unions in his first campaign rally since announcing that he will seek re-election in 2024.

“There is many politicians who dare not say the word ‘union’but I’m not one of them. i’m proud to be the most pro-union president in history of the United States,” he exclaimed before a thousand trade unionists gathered in a convention center in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania).

The president, who said that he would be “very proud” to be re-electedaffirmed that it is the workers and the middle class who build the United States, and not the businessmen of Wall Street.

The Democratic leader also boasted that his government has created nearly 13 million jobs since 2021, something that no president had achieved before, and claimed the investments made in infrastructure to “transform” the country.

The public showed their support for the president with shouts like “Come on Joe” and “Four more years.”

the choice of Philadelphia to hold his first rally is no coincidence, since Biden established his campaign headquarters in this city in 2016, an election in which he also managed to wrest the state of Pennsylvania from Trump.

“It’s good to come home“Exclaimed the Democrat after removing his tie to start his speech, in which he was accompanied by the first lady, Jill Biden.

Biden, 80, announced last April that he will repeat the electoral formula with the vice president, Kamala Harristo achieve his re-election in the November 2024 elections.

The favorite to win the Republican nomination in those elections is the former president donald trump (2017-2021), 77 years old, despite having been accused of illegally taking classified documents when he left the White House.

Among the dozen politicians who have presented themselves to the conservative primaries, the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantisand former vice president of Trump, Mike Pence.
