Teamsters Union Declines 2024 Presidential Endorsement Amid Strong Trump Support by 27-Point Margin

Sep 18, 2024, 07:39 PM

The Teamsters Union, representing 1.3 million members, has announced it will not endorse a candidate in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. This decision follows internal polling showing former President Donald Trump leading Vice President Kamala Harris by a 27-point margin. The union's leadership cited the inability of either candidate to make serious commitments to their core issues as the reason for withholding endorsement. Historically, the Teamsters have endorsed Democratic candidates, making this non-endorsement a notable deviation from past practices. The internal poll indicated that 58% of members supported Trump, while 31% backed Harris.
