is blocking this sale. Maybe Biden thinks he's supporting the USW, but those union members didn't vote for Dems. Since Trump also pledged to block the deal, Biden easily could have left blocking the sale to him. When US Steel or it's new owner closes the mills and the Mon Valley towns are left on life support, at least Trump would get the blame.
