Teamsters Skip Presidential Endorsement: Refuse to Support Kamala Harris as Majority of Rank-and-File Prefer Trump — Majority of Poll Voting Members Twice Selected Trump
For the first time in over thirty years, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters has refused to endorse any candidate for U.S. President.
For decades, the Teamsters have consistently endorsed Democrat presidential candidates, backing Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020. The union also supported Barack Obama in both of his campaigns, as well as John Kerry in 2004 and Al Gore in 2000, according to NBC.
This decision comes despite internal polling revealing that a clear majority of rank-and-file members favor former President Donald Trump over Kamala Harris.
The official statement from the union claims that after nearly a year of member interviews and polling, no candidate—neither Trump nor Harris—offered sufficient commitments to the issues that matter most to the Teamsters.
