Kamala Harris is struggling to secure endorsements from key labor groups, highlighted by the recent decision of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) to not endorse any presidential candidate, including Harris and Trump. Despite traditionally pro-Democratic firefighters' support, shifting loyalties are evident, particularly in Michigan, where Harris was counting on an endorsement that did not materialize. In contrast, the Minnesota firefighters association broke from national trends and chose to endorse the Harris-Walz ticket. This situation reflects a broader challenge Harris faces in gaining traction with union voters across critical states like Michigan and Pennsylvania.
