Teamsters will not endorse any US presidential candidate in 2024

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Teamsters union’s executive board said Wednesday the union will not endorse any presidential candidate despite polling that showed a majority of members backed Republican Donald Trump over Democrat Kamala Harris.

The union said the polling did not show universal support among the membership for the former president.

“Neither major candidate was able to make serious commitments to our union to ensure the interests of working people are always put before Big Business,” Teamsters President Sean O’Brien said in explaining the union’s decision.
