Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will TRIPLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $30 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Teamsters Not Endorsing a Presidential Candidate as Harris Receives Backing of 100+ Ex-GOP Officials

In campaign news, the Teamsters union says it is not endorsing a presidential candidate for the first time since 1996. The union, which endorsed Biden in 2020, says neither candidate had enough support from their 1.3 million-strong membership. Teamsters President Sean O’Brien in July addressed the Republican National Convention in a first for the union.

But Kamala Harris on Wednesday did gain the support of more than 100 former Republican officials, including ex-congressmembers, defense secretaries, CIA directors and others, who declared in an open letter that Trump is “unfit to serve again as president.”
