The endorsement will also have an impact on the ground in key states, like Nevada, where the powerful UNITE HERE Culinary Union, a member of the AFL-CIO, is also endorsing Biden. The group is widely seen as one of the most powerful electoral forces in the battleground state.

“I’m excited to knock on doors again to win another term for the most pro-union administration of my life, led by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,” Carlos Padilla, a cook and Culinary Union member in Nevada, said in a statement about the endorsement. “I look forward to working hard for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris so that they can keep working hard for us!”
