The International Brotherhood of Teamsters announced it would not endorse either Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump for the upcoming presidential election, citing a lack of commitments from both candidates on labor issues. Teamsters President Sean M. O’Brien emphasized that neither candidate promised to prioritize workers' interests over corporate influences. This decision reflects internal divisions within the union, as a significant portion of the membership reportedly supports Trump, while the West Coast Teamsters have endorsed Harris. The union's refusal to back a candidate marks a departure from its history of supporting Democrats in recent elections. Harris's campaign highlighted her strong labor record, contrasting with Trump's previous remarks against unions. The Teamsters urged their diverse membership to remain politically active despite the lack of an official endorsement.
