Biden picks up endorsement of firefighters union as he courts labor 😎

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.
The endorsement was widely expected, as members held Run Joe Run signs when Biden addressed the group at a conference in Washington last month. But the announcement by way of a video offers Biden a boost as he prepares to hit the campaign trail Monday with a rally in Pittsburgh, where he is seeking to court the working class in a state carried by President Trump in 2016.
Joes a lot like our firefighters, Harold Schaitberger, the IAFFs general president, said in the video. Hes a problem solver who cares deeply about America and committed to making our country better. Hes one of the staunchest advocates for working families. He knows that a strong middle class means a strong America, and we know, as president, he will stand up for all the patriotic Americans who want nothing more than to earn a decent wage, send their kids to college, have affordable health care and a decent and secure retirement.
