The Teamsters union on Wednesday said polling shows most of its members back Republican former President Donald Trump's bid for a new term in the White House over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.

The 1.3 million-member union said its executive board plans to announce later on Wednesday who it is endorsing in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

The union said a national electronic poll of its members from July 24-Sept. 15 showed rank-and-file Teamsters voted 59.6% to endorse Trump compared with 34% for Harris.

...before Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race on July 21, members backed Biden 44.3% to Trump’s 36.3%.

Now:

...voted 59.6% to endorse Trump compared with 34% for Harris.

Uh what??

Sounds like they made up their mind at the RNC when Teamsters President Sean O'Brien gave his address. Hmm...

Edit for clarity in the quote

Can't/won't be led by a black woman (or any woman for that matter).

I worked in a unionized saw mill previously and you have no idea how misogynistic places like that are ... still ... in the 21st fucking century.

I think Hilary Clinton said it:

The worst man is still favoured over the best woman.

It's something like that.

Yes I can, and just because it's more concentrated in my area doesn't mean it doesn't exist everywhere else. I'll say it again: civil rights are human rights.
