According to the IBEW, the Biden administration, along with Bernie Sanders, deserves credit for railroad workers finally getting those sick days. Is it possible that Biden is more pro-labor than some are giving him credit for?

I'm contacting the author of the Guardian article I cited for follow-up comment.

Great point about Reagan in 1976! Since in about 20 months, the media will start running polling for 2028 presidential candidates, anyone credible who starts now has the potential "front-runner" lane available.
