Washington — United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain says Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are the union's top two picks for Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, though he noted that the decision is hers to make.'Those would be our top two if we had to pick any,' Fain said on 'Face the Nation' Sunday. 'That's who we believe would be best for labor and for working class people but you know, that's her decision.
'But when it comes to other vice presidential contenders, like Shapiro and Kelly, Fain suggested their records leave more to be desired for labor leaders. Fain pointed to Shapiro's support for private school vouchers as one of the 'bigger issues' for the union. And regarding Kelly, Fain said the Arizona senator's recent support for legislation that provides more protection for unions isn't enough to assuage concerns about his record.
