The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, a union representing 1.3 million workers in the U.S. and Canada, made headlines by announcing their decision not to endorse a candidate for the 2024 presidential election. This move is a departure from their tradition of endorsing Democratic candidates since 1992, with the last Republican endorsement dating back to 1988.
The decision came after internal polling revealed that a majority of Teamsters members support former President Trump over Democratic nominee Vice President Harris. The polling showed that Trump's popularity among Teamsters has surged, with 59.6% favoring him over Harris in an online survey and 58% in a phone survey.
