Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance is scheduled to address the International Association of Firefighters Convention on Thursday, following a speaking engagement by his opponent, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. The convention is a significant event for the association, which has a history of involvement in political endorsements.
In the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election, the International Association of Fire Fighters made headlines by being the first major labor group to officially endorse a candidate, throwing its support behind Joe Biden. However, as of now, the union has not yet announced its endorsement for the current election cycle.
