Teamsters Union Declines to Endorse a Presidential Candidate in 2024 Election
In a significant departure from tradition, the Teamsters Union has announced that it will not endorse any presidential candidate in the 2024 election, marking the first time since 1996 that they have opted not to throw their support behind a candidate. This decision follows internal polling indicating that a majority of its members support Donald Trump over Kamala Harris by nearly a 2-to-1 margin. The union expressed that neither candidate was deemed pro-labor enough for endorsement. This move is seen as a blow to Democrats, particularly as the Teamsters previously endorsed Joe Biden in 2020 and were courted by Trump this election cycle.
