From The Huffington Post: Machinists endorse Joe Biden
EDITOR'S NOTE: While the AFL-CIO hasn't endorsed anybody for president, some unions and individual union members have been lining up behind Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders. Others supported Elizabeth Warren before she dropped out.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers is giving former Vice President Joe Biden the union’s presidential endorsement after holding a national vote by the union’s members.
Biden won 36% of the vote versus 26% for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Donald Trump took 34% of ballots cast. Members were free to vote for any candidate from any party on the ballot, and members supported a Democrat over a Republican by nearly 2-1.
Voting took place in the days following Super Tuesday when Biden surged and took a lead over Sanders in delegates. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) dropped out of the race in the middle of the vote, which may help explain why she netted only 2%.
