The president opened his remarks by thanking the union for endorsing him in 2020 and again on Wednesday ahead of the general election in November.
“Because of you, I’m standing here as president of the United States of America,” he declared. “In 2024, we’re going to make Donald Trump a loser again.”
The president reiterated comments he made not only last week in Scranton, Pennsylvania, but also throughout his entire reelection push, dovetailing on his and Trump’s differing sets of values.
“He learned the best way to get rich is inheriting,” Biden said of Trump. “He learned that paying taxes is something working people did, not him. He learned that telling people, ‘You’re fired,’ was something to laugh about. Not in my household. Not in my neighborhood.”
“I guess that’s how you look at the world from Mar-a-Lago, where Trump and his rich friends embrace the same failed trickle-down policies that have failed working-class families and union families over 40 years,” the president continued. “But if you grew up where we grew up, nobody had anything. Being told, ‘You’re fired,’ wasn’t entertainment. It was devastating. It was a nightmare.”
Biden, who bills himself as the most pro-union president in U.S. history, proceeded to outline his accomplishments in office, specifically the 2022 passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, before turning his comments back to attacking Trump.

He claimed the former president “still” believes that windmills cause cancer and brought up Trump’s infamous 2020 comments about injecting bleach to fight COVID-19.
“It all went to his hair,” Biden proclaimed, earning cheers and groans from the crowd. “I probably shouldn’t have said that. You guys are a bad influence on me.”
