BREAKING: Teamsters Refuse to Endorse a Prez Candidate for 1st Time in 28 Years – Members Overwhelmingly Back Trump.
The powerful International Brotherhood of Teamsters union is announcing it will not be endorsing a presidential candidate ahead of the 2024 election in November. The decision is a significant blow to the Democratic Party’s nominee, Kamala Harris, who has struggled to appeal to rank-and-file union members across the country.
Former President Donald J. Trump, the 2024 Republican nominee, has made a significant effort to reach out to rank-and-file union members, focusing especially on using tariffs to combat foreign nations that seek to undercut U.S. manufacturing.
The National Pulse reported that Trump had a productive meeting with the union in January of this year, resulting in its president, Sean O’Brien, addressing the Republican National Convention for the first time in July. O’Brien has also heaped praise on the Republican vice presidential nominee, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH).
