Harris chose not to travel to the Los Angeles-area event because that would be considered crossing the picket line, a person familiar with the decision said. For Democrats, who depend on union support, that’s a political impossibility.

The person, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly, spoke on condition of anonymity about the decision to postpone the MTV Mental Health Action Day conversation.
