Teamster Team Up Against Team Harris/Walz

In a massive blow to both campaigns, union giant Teamsters will not issue a presidential endorsement for the first time since 1996.

"We sought commitments from both Trump and Harris not to interfere in critical union campaigns or core Teamsters industries — and to honor our members’ right to strike — but were unable to secure those pledges,” said Teamsters General Sean O’Brien.

In recent years, Teamsters has backed Democratic candidates like President Joe Biden. However, in a poll released Wednesday, the union revealed that members overwhelmingly voted to endorse Trump over Harris. Despite this and O'Brien's increasingly friendly relationship with Trump (he was the first Teamsters leader ever to speak at the Republican National Convention) they have chosen to forgo an endorsement altogether.

This is the second time since 1960 that they have skipped delivering a presidential endorsement.

Squeezers

Gov. Ron DeSantis: "I commend all the Florida law enforcement leaders who are taking threats to our schools seriously by ensuring that those who make threats are investigated and held accountable."

Debbie Mucarsel-Powell: "Thank you to the @FLAFLCIO for your support and endorsement. In the Senate, I will make sure we protect safe workplaces, fight for fair wages, and protect your hard-earned benefits. Si se puede!"

Sen. Shevrin Jones: "The countdown to the @MiamiDadeDems Blue Gala has begun, just a few days away! We’re truly grateful for all the support and excitement we've seen. On that note, we’re delighted to announce that our Chair and leader of the @FlaDems, @NikkiFried, will join us as one of our guest speakers this Saturday!"

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: "The continued rhetoric by Kamala Harris and the radical left about President Trump and Republicans being a “threat” has to STOP. The fact that it continues even after the first (crazy that we have to say first) attempt on his life is disgusting."
