Biden calls top donor NEA ‘one of America’s indispensable organizations’
Fox News
President Biden said Friday that the National Education Association (NEA), the nation’s largest labor union, is “one of America’s indispensable organizations.” The group was a particularly generous donor of his presidential campaign.
The second-highest recipient was Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who got $50,996. The amount of money that went directly to any one candidate, however, pales in comparison to the money teachers unions donated to liberal groups in general -- over $23.5 million from the NEA and over $14 million from the AFT. Combined, those two groups spent $43 million in political expenditures during the 2020 election cycle, according to Open Secrets. They both endorsed Biden for the presidency in March.More Related News
