JEN PSAKI: Joining us now is United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain. Thank you so much for joining us this evening. So Rachel just gave a very long list of all of the unions that have endorsed Kamala Harris, the vice president, who is now going to be likely the nominee. The United Auto Workers is not on that list? Are you ready to join that list and make an announcement tonight?
SHAWN FAIN: So thank you for having us. And look, we’re- we have a process we follow. And just like anything- and let's be real. I mean, this last couple of weeks has been a very -- you know, just a very emotional few weeks, and especially this last few days, you know, seeing President Biden make a sacrifice for this nation. And, you know- look, I mean…I got to tell you, it's a bittersweet moment. I love President Biden. Greatest president in my lifetime, the most pro-labor president in my lifetime. And, you know, obviously, he did the honorable thing. And, you know, think about that. I mean, can you ever imagine Donald Trump putting his ego aside and doing what's right for the country? It would never happen. So, you know, with Vice President Harris, we have a process we follow. The membership put the international executive board in charge of this. And we're going to be discussing things over the next few days, and then we'll choose that path forward and then we'll make announcements as we deem fit.
