Teamsters Decline to Endorse for President Despite Members' Overwhelming Support for Trump

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : The union made a donation to the Republican National Committee, met with Trump, and O'Brien accepted an invitation to speak at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
48% : Among rank-and-file members of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, 59.6% surveyed said they believe the Teamsters should endorse Trump, compared to 31% voicing support for Vice President Kamala Harris.
25% : Despite the poll results, the Teamsters refused to make an endorsement, saying there was "no majority support" for Harris and a lack of "universal support" for Trump, the union revealed Wednesday.
21% : That more than 25-point gap remained more or less unchanged after the union ordered a subsequent survey following the Sept. 10 presidential debate between Trump and Harris.
21% : Harris is considerably less popular among rank-and-file Teamsters than President Joe Biden, who trailed Trump by only about 8 points in a survey ordered by the union prior to Biden's July 21 withdrawal from the race.
