Incumbent President Joe Biden personally attended this event with Ms. Harris to show support for the Democratic candidate. According to Newsweek Magazine, on September 2 (local time), Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris attended a parade in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, met with union members and spoke to supporters in the city. Notably, this was the first time President Biden and Vice President Harris attended a campaign event since Ms. Harris officially became the Democratic presidential candidate, thereby sending a strong message of support that he has for Ms. Harris. In his speech at the event, President Biden praised Ms. Harris and called on Pennsylvania voters to vote for this female politician. President Biden said that choosing Ms. Harris as Vice President was the "best" decision of his presidency, and told union members that voting for Ms. Harris in the 2024 US presidential election would be "the best decision you ever make."

In response, Ms. Harris praised Mr. Biden as one of the presidents who has brought the biggest change to America. Vice President Harris also pledged that if elected, she would build an economy that benefits American workers. The Guardian reported that during this year's White House race, both Vice President Harris and her Republican opponent - former President Donald Trump - declared themselves on the side of American workers. That reflects the important role that union voters play in the voting results in states like Pennsylvania and Michigan, which have the highest density of union voters in the US. As September begins and the US presidential election season enters the final stages, Pennsylvania has emerged as an "important battleground" for both the Democratic and Republican parties. Recent polls also show that there will be a close race between the two candidates Trump and Harris for the 19 electoral votes in Pennsylvania. Although Mr. Trump did not participate in any campaign events on September 2, it is likely that in the coming days, both he and Ms. Harris will increase contact with voters in important battleground states such as Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan or Nevada. These are states that are considered to decide the outcome of the US presidential election in November this year. According to the results of a poll published by The Wall Street Journal last weekend, Vice President Harris is currently leading former President Trump by a narrow margin. Specifically, Ms. Harris received the support of 48% of voters surveyed, while the rate for Mr. Trump was 47%. Similarly, the results of a poll conducted by Reuters/Ipsos also showed that Ms. Harris is leading Mr. Trump with a corresponding voter support rate of 45%-41%. However, speaking to a crowd in Pittsburgh, Democratic candidate Harris said that the results of public opinion polls do not reflect what will happen in the US presidential election this year. "This is going to be a tight race until the last minute. So let's not pay too much attention to the polls," Ms. Harris emphasized.
