• Harris is expected to follow Biden's lead and publicly oppose a bid by Japanese Nippon Steel to acquire US Steel. A campaign official said Harris plans to “stress her commitment to always have the backs of American steel workers."
• CNN notes: "Representatives for US Steel and Nippon Steel declined to comment on whether the companies had briefed Vice President Harris on the deal. Under the current terms of the deal, US Steel would retain its name and Pittsburgh headquarters. Nippon has also pledged an additional $1.3 billion to refurbish two outdated mills in Pennsylvania and Indiana."
• The United Steelworkers union endorsed Harris' presidential bid on July 22, shortly after Biden withdrew from the race.
• USW International President David McCall said in a statement: “Vice President Harris has been a true partner. We look forward to continuing to work with her, and we are proud to give her our endorsement.”
