🚛 Teamsters Union Declines Presidential Endorsement Amid Strong Trump Support 💼

In a significant move, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters announced it will not endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential race after releasing internal polling showing a majority of its members favor former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris. This marks the first time in nearly 30 years that the union has abstained from endorsing a candidate.

Key Details:

• Teamsters President Sean O’Brien cited a lack of serious commitments from either candidate on core labor issues as the reason for the decision.
• A member poll revealed 60% of Teamsters members supported Trump, while 34% favored Harris.
• The union sought guarantees from both candidates on not interfering with critical union campaigns and honoring members’ rights to strike, which were not secured.

The move could have major implications for the race, especially in key swing states where the union has a strong presence.
