"I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party... to defeat Donald Trump... And together, we will win."

"This is a race Democrats can and must win."

"If the Democrats can be unified... then they have a good chance to win in November."

"I’d be very wary and a bit cautious on assuming that Trump is just going to sail to victory."

"Donald Trump’s hopes of claiming the White House just went from near certain to extremely uncertain" now Biden has dropped out.

"This kind of chaos this close to Election Day means Trump is going to win."

"It doesn’t matter whom the Democrats pick... Donald Trump will win in November."

"Donald Trump is now the de facto president."

"If the 2024 presidential election is a race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris then Trump will win, every time, and most likely win easily."

"Harris will be easier to beat than Joe Biden would have been."

Who Will Win the 2024 US Presidential Election?

Some 45K US dockworkers ended their 3-day strike Thursday following an International Longshoremen's Association (ILA)-US Maritime Alliance (USMX) deal.

An ILA-USMX joint statement ending the three-day strike tentatively agreed on key issues like wages and held off others like automation for further talks.

ABC News

It was reportedly agreed that the workers' wages would rise 62% over six years. While ILA wanted it up 77%, USMX had offered a 50% hike.

The two sides will continue to negotiate the issue of automation, which the workers fear threatens their jobs, before the current contract extension until Jan. 15.

Guardian

Pres. Joe Biden, who refused to impose the Taft-Hartley Act to force workers to continue working, applauded the deal saying, "Collective bargaining works."

Besides saving the US economy billions of dollars in potential losses, the deal has successfully tackled a political issue for the White House weeks before the US election.

Bloomberg.com

The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) is demanding a pay increase of approximately 77 percent over six years and a ban on port automation, while negotiations with the United States Maritime Alliance have stalled since June.

A prolonged strike could lead to shortages, price increases, and significant supply chain disruptions, affecting various industries including retail, automotive, and agriculture.

The strike's timing coincides with the peak holiday shipping season and could impact the availability of goods for retailers, potentially causing delays and higher prices for consumers.

President Biden has indicated he does not plan to intervene using the Taft-Hartley Act, which could force workers to stay on the job for an 80-day cooling-off period.

The economic impact of the strike could be substantial, with JPMorgan estimating a cost of $5 billion per day to the U.S. economy, and even a short strike could take weeks or months to recover from.

A strike would severely disrupt the supply chain, leading to shortages and increased costs for businesses and consumers. The timing couldn't be worse, with the holiday season approaching and the economy already facing inflationary pressures. The potential economic impact is too significant to ignore, especially with a presidential election just weeks away.

The deal struck by the dockworkers and port operators is a welcome mid-path that helps both sides move forward. The dockworkers deserve fair compensation for their crucial role in keeping American commerce moving. Foreign shipping companies are making billions in profits while workers struggle with inflation.

East Coast Dockworkers Plan To Strike Tuesday, Hobbling Supply Chain

The US dockworkers' strike exposed the ugly underbelly of union monopolies. It threatened to paralyze trade and harm countless lower-paid workers across industries, demonstrating how unchecked union power can lead to extortion-like tactics, ultimately hurting the very workers that the unions claim to protect.
