Teamsters leadership faced online backlash after announcing the union would not endorse a candidate for the presidential election, despite a majority of its members supporting Trump.
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters was ridiculed on social media Wednesday after announcing it would not be endorsing a presidential candidate, despite a majority of the union's membership supporting former President Trump. Teamsters on Wednesday posted the results of internal polling on the 2024 candidates, showing that the union's members favored Trump by 59.6% over Democratic nominee Vice President Harris, who received 34% in an online survey.
The last time the union endorsed a Republican was in 1988. While many criticized the union's refusal to endorse a candidate, Trump said the Teamster's lack of endorsement for Kamala Harris, the Democrat nominee, spoke volumes considering its past support of Democratic candidates. "The Teamsters carry a lot of weight... it was always automatic that Democrats get the Teamsters and they said we won't endorse the Democrats this year.
