Biden uses Labor1 Day speeches to focus on 2 swing states

Transcript2

President Biden went to Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to talk to union workers on Labor Day. The states are key to Democrats3' success in the midterm elections.

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

President Biden spent his Labor Day laboring4 on behalf of Democrats in swing states ahead of the midterms. He gave speeches in both Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. So are voters sympathetic to his core message that American democracy is under threat? NPR's Claudia Grisales was traveling with the president.

CLAUDIA GRISALES, BYLINE5: At his first Labor Day stop, President Biden told a Milwaukee, Wis., crowd that he knows, at least in part, what got him into office.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Folks, Labor Day is a special day in the country for - and here in Milwaukee. This is one of the biggest Labor Day events in America you all have here. And it's a special day to me, as well, because the fact of the matter is, I wouldn't be here without unions.

GRISALES: Now, it's that energy Biden is hoping to channel to the ballot6 box for the November midterm elections, with Democratic congressional control at stake.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

BIDEN: I wouldn't be here without cops, firefighters, teachers, nurses.

GRISALES: And later, near Pittsburgh, he appeared with a key Democratic Senate candidate at a local union office. That's Pennsylvania Lieutenant7 Governor John Fetterman, who is trying to get past GOP Senate nominee8 Dr. Mehmet Oz, who's got former President Trump's endorsement9. Fetterman spent much of the summer out of the public eye, recovering from a stroke.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

JOHN FETTERMAN: You've got a friend, and you have an ally. Send me to Washington, D.C.

GRISALES: Biden told a crowd of union steelworkers in West Mifflin, Pa., that the country is under a growing threat from Republican extremists.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

BIDEN: It's clear which way the new MAGA Republicans are. They're extreme, and Democracy is really at stake. You can't be a democracy when you support violence, when you don't like the outcome of election.

GRISALES: Biden will keep traveling as the final sprint10 to the midterms gets underway. He's going to Ohio on Friday.
