    He said, “we were then a right to work state and we changed it all”. The “we” in this context refers to the people of Delaware and more specifically, the Labor movement he just referred to in the earlier clause in that sentence, not Joe Biden. He’s probably referring to Delaware passing the law that added language to the Delaware Code that explicitly allows employment contracts that have a union membership requirement. I can’t find any information on whether Delaware had laws banning closed shops before, but explicitly allowing them in law is a major accomplishment for labor.

    Regardless, it would take quite a stretch of the imagination to think based on what he said that he’s claiming that “He Repealed Delaware’s ‘Right-to-Work’ Law”.
