Biden meets union leaders

By Trevor Hunnicutt

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden returns to the campaign trail on Wednesday, rallying the key constituency of labor leaders, as some fellow Democrats continue to persuade him not to run again.

Biden will join the AFL-CIO's executive council meeting in Washington on Wednesday to take questions from leaders of major U.S. labor unions and discuss "their shared commitment to defeating Donald Trump this November," the Biden campaign said.

Labor votes were key to Biden's win over Trump in competitive states, including Michigan, Pennsylvania and Nevada, in 2020.

Democrats in the U.S. Congress remain deeply divided over whether to fall in line behind Biden or to urge him to step aside because of persistent questions about his health and acuity. Biden has said he is fit to serve but understands the questions.
