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

HeadlineSep 19, 2024

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.”
