Union leaders, Pete Buttigieg attack Donald Trump during an Illinois delegation’s breakfast
The Democratic National Convention is more than halfway done. And long nights of lavish after-parties, coupled with 8 a.m. rallies over breakfast every morning, had Illinois delegates bleary-eyed Wednesday.
But the speakers at Wednesday’s breakfast event brought the energy – and the saltiness, with many attacking former president Donald Trump.
🎧 In this audio story, WBEZ reporter Mawa Iqbal hears from:
- Bob Reiter, head of the Chicago Federation of Labor
- Pete Buttigieg, U.S. Secretary of Transportation, who is a top surrogate for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris
- Eric Dean, head of the international ironworkers union, who took the Trump attacks to a profane level.
- Tim Drea, president of the Illinois AFL-CIO coalition of labor unions, who belittled the Republican National Convention.
- Reverend Raphael Warnock, U.S. Senator of Georgia, who spoke of civil rights icon John Lewis.
