Harris Gains Key Endorsement from Teachers’ Union, Boosting Her Presidential Bid
The teachers’ union, led by Randi Weingarten, is a big group that usually supports Democrats. They are very important in elections. The union decided to support Harris for president, which was a big deal for her campaign. Weingarten said that Harris’ decision to run for president is exciting and important. The teachers’ union will probably help Harris get more support from educators and people who vote for progressive candidates.
