They endorsed Trump in 2016? |
Shows that Teamsters are still Democrats, but that they just do not like Kamala Harris. It's over. :/ |
The national office is sitting this one out, but some of the locals are endorsing Harris. |
The bolded is correct. "The Teamsters have endorsed the Democratic ticket in every presidential election since 1996, when they did not endorse a candidate." But, interestingly, "the union had closer ties to the GOP decades ago, endorsing Richard M. Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush." |
The Teamsters in Nevada are organizing for Harris. They know what's up. |
No. Sixty percent of the rank and file polled for Trump. This will be very important in the swing states of MI, PA and WI. |
Wrong. I'm sure that's the spin MAGA will put on it. More likely it's an internal issue related to Sean O'Brien wanting to keep his job. |
You forgot the racism word in your predictable list... |
So all the Teamster's rank and file members are Trumpsters now, and Sean O'Brien is almost a Trumpster or else he gets fired? |
No endorsement because the majority of members are for Trump. |

Yeah, I hope Harris does remember this moving forward. No more pension bailouts, fellas, and don't go crying to anyone if you end up with a union-busting administration! |
Teamsters Statement:
https://teamster.org/2024/09/teamsters-no-end...t-for-u-s-president/ Leadership doesn't think either candidate is better for unions. Membership is split. 60-40 one way or the other is huge in an election, but not huge for justifying an endorsement. They weren't impressed by Biden during the Railway strike. Does anyone have a well-documented argument for why leadership or membership is making a mistake? Abortion doesn't count; that's not Teamsters responsibility, even if individual members find it important for non-union reasons. |
I expect Harris to govern honorably, not follow Trump into selling Presidential favors for personal gain. |
Seriously? What a joke. |
