21:36Now PlayingGov. Tim Walz (Minn.) will address members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) union at their convention in Los Angeles Tuesday afternoon.
The visit by the Democratic vice presidential candidate comes as the Harris-Walz presidential ticket looks to solidify its base, including with organized labor.
AFSCME is one of several major labor organizations, including several other constituent unions within the AFL-CIO, that have given strong support to the Democratic Party ticket.
Some were already on board for President Biden. Others, such as the UAW, have offered enthusiastic support in the weeks since Vice President Harris replaced him in the top spot. Walz has also drawn praise from unions since becoming Harris’s running mate.
Teamsters President Sean O’Brien, on the other hand, spoke at the Republican National Convention. The Teamsters union has yet to formally offer an endorsement to a presidential candidate.
Walz is slated to speak beginning at 3:35 p.m. EDT.
