Republican Challenger Seeks Labor Backing in Tipping-Point House Race

A Republican challenger backed by Trump has gained support from a key labor union in one of the nation's most competitive House races, bolstering their bid to take control of the chamber. The endorsement is seen as a significant boost for Mike LiPetri, who is challenging a vulnerable Democratic incumbent. Labor backing can be crucial in swing districts, where voters are often closely divided on party lines. The development raises hopes that LiPetri may be able to secure key labor unions and ultimately win the seat.
