The International Brotherhood of Teamsters has decided not to endorse either Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, marking a significant departure from their historical support for Democratic candidates. This decision was influenced by internal polling showing a majority of the union's 1.3 million members favoring Trump over Harris, with 59.6% to 34%. Teamsters President Sean M. O’Brien cited both candidates' failure to make serious commitments to the union's key issues, including non-interference in union campaigns and honoring the right to strike. Despite meetings with both Harris and Trump, the union found neither candidate satisfactorily addressed their concerns. This neutral stance comes just weeks before the election, contrasting with other major labor unions that have endorsed Harris. The decision reflects the union's commitment to representing a diverse membership that includes Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.
