Here's What Happened When a Fox Business Reporter Asked Port Strikers If They Support Kamala
Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

One domestic crisis has been resolved temporarily, providing much relief to an incompetent and floundering Biden-Harris administration that’s dealing with a massive port workers strike, the Middle East on the brink of a regional war, and providing disaster assistance to the flood-ravaged victims of Hurricane Helene. In all three crises, this administration was failing miserably. The Federal Emergency Management Agency diverted beaucoup dollars to help illegal aliens. Now, there’s not enough money to provide hurricane relief this season. The port strike didn’t help, which is another point of contention: how could this union do this now when victims of Helene need supplies? 

They were asking for a 77 percent wage increase, plus a provision that would guarantee our ports would never be subject to automation. It was a cuckoo ask, but these workers now return to work, accepting a 62 percent wage increase over six years. This interim agreement provides some breathing room for both sides to come to a new contract by mid-January 2025 (via WSJ): Read more, see Xs and videos here.
