President Joe Biden on June 17 held his first political rally since announcing his reelection campaign in April, addressing labor union members in Philadelphia in an effort to win back white working-class voters.

This is the first time ever that the AFL-CIO union has endorsed a candidate so early in the race, according to Biden.
