Teamsters members heavily favor Trump over Harris ahead of union endorsement decision
The union said it expects to announce whether to endorse either candidate later in the day, but General President Sean O’Brien said earlier this week the polling of its membership would be a key consideration.

Former President Donald Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris nearly two-to-one among Teamsters members, according to survey data the union released Wednesday as it considers an endorsement in the presidential race.

Close to 60 percent of members who participated in an electronic poll said they supported Trump, compared to 34 percent who backed Harris. A separate survey conducted via phone similarly had Trump up big: 58 percent to 31 percent.

Earlier this week General President Sean O’Brien said earlier this week the polling of its membership would be a key consideration.

“Our members are the union, and their voices and opinions must be at the forefront of everything the Teamsters do,” O’Brien said in a release. “Our final decision around a possible Presidential endorsement will not be made lightly, but you can be sure it will be driven directly by our diverse membership.”

The Teamsters Union will not endorse a presidential candidate after internal polling showed Trump leading Kamala with 59.6% to 34%.

Despite a private meeting with Kamala, union members were not swayed.

This marks the first time in nearly 30 years the union has withheld its endorsement, a significant setback for the Democratic Party in battleground states.
