The Teamsters International, representing over 1.3 million members, chose not to endorse a candidate for the upcoming presidential election, marking a historic departure from prior practice.
Polling revealed that before President Biden dropped out, the union’s members preferred him over Trump, but after his withdrawal, a majority favored Trump, showing a significant shift in support.
Sean O'Brien, the Teamsters president, stated that both major candidates failed to provide crucial commitments that would prioritize the interests of working people over big business.
