The United Farm Workers on Tuesday announced its endorsement of President Joe Biden for reelection, saying that the Democrat has proven throughout his life to be an ā€œauthentic championā€ for workers and their families, regardless of race or national origin.

The farm workersā€™ union was co-founded by Cesar Chavez, the late grandfather of Julie Chavez Rodriguez, who Biden named as his 2024 campaign manager. Her father, Arturo Rodriquez, is a past UFW president.

Julie Rodriguez and ā€œspecial guestsā€ were expected to formally announce the endorsement later Tuesday at Muranaka Farms in the city of Moorpark in southern California.
