> #JimmyWilliams, president of the #PaintersUnion (IUPAT), one of the most progressive unions in the AFL-CIO, on Harris’ defeat: “Working people deserve a party that understands what’s at stake, and that puts their issues front and center when campaigning and governing. A potential Republican trifecta, along with #Project2025, will be catastrophic for unions, including my own. But if the Democrats want to win, they need to get serious about being a party by and for the working class.”
