Sen. Markwayne Mullin and Teamsters President Sean O'Brien shared insights into their unexpected friendship, which developed after a confrontational moment in the Senate. Following their heated exchange during a November 2023 hearing, they found common ground through President Trump's encouragement to put their differences aside. Their newfound alliance centers around supporting Trump's Labor Secretary nominee, Lori Chavez-DeRemer. Both leaders acknowledged their past disagreements but emphasized their commitment to working together moving forward, illustrating how personal connections can transcend political rivalry.
Even after President Trump and Sean O'Brien sat down and talked, one of the first phone calls he made was to me and said, Hey Markwayne, I think you guys will get along. You guys need to talk because I think we got a place for the unions to come in and it starts with Sean.
We can agree to disagree on right to work. We can agree to disagree on the Pro Act, but the task at hand right now is getting Lori Chavez-DeRemer confirmed, and we're going to work together.
