What is ridin in "We're ridin' with Biden"?

Solution 1:

Ridin’ means riding. It is meant figuratively: It does not mean literally riding in the car, just “we are along with him- we support his candidacy.”

The term for dropping a sound (in this case g) is elision.

“Ridin” has the benefits of rhyming (close enough) with Biden and also having a folksy sound, which is part of the soon to be president’s persona.

EDIT: Thanks to comments by shoover: Ridin(g) also alludes to Biden riding the train from Delaware to DC and the sign is from a transit workers’ unit.
