Biden spoke to UAW workers in Belvidere, Illinois, as the Democratic president tries to rally support for his economic agenda and firm up sagging popularity numbers, ahead of a re-election campaign next year.
Donning a red UAW T-shirt, Biden congratulated Shawn Fain, the head of the UAW, and highlighted the tentative contract agreements between the union and Detroit's Big Three Automakers that ended a nearly 45-day strike.
"I want this type of contract for all autoworkers," Biden said in Belvidere.
En route to the event, Biden told reporters that he "absolutely" supports the UAW's efforts to unionize Tesla and Toyota workers.
Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, visited a nonunion factory in Michigan in September while Biden joined a picket line with striking UAW workers, Biden reminded workers.
"I hope you guys have a memory," said Biden. "Where I come from, it matters."
