United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain has declared victory in his bid for a second term, according to The Washington Post. The reelection gives Fain another four years leading the union, the Detroit Free Press reports.
The Washington Post described Fain as a leader who has drawn sharp criticism from President Donald Trump. Reuters also reported that Fain declared victory in the race for a second term.
The Detroit News reported that Fain claimed reelection in what it described as an apparent sweep for his slate of candidates. The Wall Street Journal similarly reported that Fain claimed victory in what it called a rout in the UAW election.
The results, as reported by those outlets, cover the union's top office and, according to The Detroit News, extend to the broader group of candidates running alongside Fain. The Detroit Free Press framed the outcome as keeping Fain in the presidency for four more years.
The election drew national attention in part because of Fain's public clashes with Trump, which The Washington Post highlighted in its coverage of the race.
What to watch next: formal certification of the vote totals and any statements from the union or the opposing candidates.
