Biden’s trip to Philadelphia comes less than a week before the presidential election and may be aimed at bolstering support for Vice President Kamala Harris in the swing state. He will tout the Biden-Harris administration’s record on labor matters.

He has previously called himself the most “pro-union” president in U.S. history.
