INDIANA – The International Brotherhood of Teamsters declined to endorse a presidential candidate on Wednesday after releasing internal polling showing that most of its members supported former President Donald Trump.
The Teamsters, representing truck drivers, freight workers, and other workers, is the last major labor union to announce an endorsement.
The nation’s other major labor organizations, including the American Federation of Teachers and the United Auto Workers, have backed Vice President Kamala Harris.
An endorsement from the Teamsters—which has members heavily represented in critical swing states such as Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania—would have been crucial for either candidate.
The last time the Teamsters sat out a presidential election was 1996.
