Today the Teamsters announced it won’t endorse any candidate for president. It’s a blow for Vice President Harris, who becomes the first Democratic presidential candidate in nearly three decades not to get the endorsement of America’s largest union. Meanwhile, former President Trump is out on the campaign trail with new signs of a larger security presence following Sunday’s apparent assassination attempt. NBC News’ Garrett Haake reports.

@maranatha4492
It was the Biden/Harris administration that forced a P.E.B. on rail worker's. Railworkers werent able to strike and now thanks to this outrageous inflation are behind on wages amongst other things, so theres that!
@maranatha4492
I'm voting for the man who gave up his wealth for my country.. Not a man who gave up his country for his wealth..A man who has also now bled for his country..Trump☆2024!!☆♡♥︎

@eloquentextrovert
Democrats are no longer the party of the working class.
@leizee1224
When their union dies and their wages and benefits are drastically reduced, at least they can say they helped Donald Trump get out of jail
@eloquentextrovert
TRUMP IS GOING TO WIN.
@raulibarra1089
I am very satisfied Teamster President didn’t endorse Harris. Rank and File is evenly split on candidates. From a retired Teamster 40 years of service
@davidschortner7439
Truckers saw how their Canadian brothers were treated by Trudeau and know that him and Harris are like minded freinds.
@Janjust1617
Teamster – shame on you
@JonBrown-po7he
HOW COMPLETELY IMMATURE. The teamsters' immature and infantile lack of support for Harris reflects the foolish, Neanderthal thinking that a 'strong' man is always better than a woman. Really effing petty and immature.
@smudent2010
60% of teamsters polled will be voting Trump. They are endorsing a Presidential candidate no matter what the legacy media tells you
@jmladislas6463
Glad I’m not a teamster anymore. I’m a truck driver and will never support trump
@logoutjason4689
The majority of Teamsters support Trump! It's not even close, we know where their endorsement should go…
@DannyJacobs-x5z
Kamala: if the "undocumented" (aka illegal immigrants) would have listened to you when you said "don't come", but invaded the border anyway, then Trump wouldn't have to have a massive deportation. There's another root cause for you to ponder.
@chesterhaduca7029
Mass deportation is a means of rejecting the idea that anyone can violate our immigration laws without consequences. On the flip side, giving an amnesty to those illegal migrants is somehow affirming the wrong they have done which is somehow saying it’s okay you can violate our immigration laws.
@chesterhaduca7029
Majority of teamsters already have spoken- TRUMP IS THEIR PRESIDENT! Move on Kamala fans!
@One_Harmony
Teemsters mi new candidate endorsement https://youtu.be/0TD5pcS4eA4?si=Pp5_XuJIO_u9n_Hu
Teemsters Michigan for harris
@beverlyford7B7
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS 🚪 THEY WILL POSSIBLY ENDORSE TRUMP.
@soursop1972
As a Teamsters member this is a welcome change. The majority of Teamsters members are hard working blue collar conservatives.
@WeThePeople205
Bc the majority of the union is voting for Trump
@Necromonger69
Let me correct this for you, they don't want to endorse Harris. There I fixed it.
@mariaangelagador3254
Of course it's the 20+ million illegals you and Biden got jn the country so you can use them in the election. Liar and cheater Dems!😠
@dewaynewalker2104
Don't worry Kamala you still have the support of Russia, China, North Korea and Iran. Like the case with Biden they can smell weakness.
@rickbaier1042
" Nothing is given that isn't earned' If one statement describes Harris this is it . Union presidents own words …
@mirjamkohler263
Me and all my union friends are voting Harris!🌊🌊🌊
@richardleirer
Hurray, the Rank and File now Know the Current Dem Party is the most destructive Force in our country right now. Harris Censored science, censored speech, continues support for endless wars and has abandoned all reason with the crazy ideas about what is best for our country. Stop the Dem Madness by not voting for Harris.
@MJ-py7dm
The DNC didn’t invite the teamsters at the DNC, only the RNC extended an invitation so there you go.
@bjmac6609
when trump was president, hoffa jr went to him and said we need help on central states pension fund or its bankrupt…trump did not do a thing..
when biden was elected, 50 days later , congress voted to pass the pension fund bailout..NOT ONE REPUBLICAN voted for it in the senate…Kamala, the vice president, voted the deciding 51st vote to pass it….a $32 billion bailout to make those pensions solid….many teamsters forget…pathetic
@ricklannis6244
As a hard working class person how could you ever back Harris or one of these nu-Democrats for that matter..
@MH-ro1lg
The fact that trump got support from the members by almost 2 to 1 and he still doesn't get their endorsement will red pill a lot of the normies in their ranks.
@MrHand-ih4sz
It's no surprise that the vast majority or rank and file Teamsters support Trump. Good for Sean O Brien for not endorsing someone that his members do not support.
Shawn Fein from the UAW should be ashamed of himself, endorsing a candidate who has openly advocated for the elimination of the product that his members build. What a hack.
@cazmaniandevil1
Imagine paying dues, and watching your paid leadership. Not support what the members want. Unions are so corrupt. Just like politicians, take the money, and not do what the people want.
@felicialodato9298
She’s scared of what a mass deportation would look like but she’s not scared to go into your home and take your gun if she sees it necessary. Hmmm…
@Amarok-p6l
Two fixed candidates that offer nothing beneficial to the American people. Corporate captured politics has to end!
@meechieboii16
Report the truth, majority of locals are endorsing, "national" decided not too
@SlapshotProspecting
Teamsters Union has gone SCAB.
@RandomNamejagddjxuossn
Illegal aliens *
@AvenueD417
Funny how if Kamala had their support they would openly endorse her but since the majority of the union workers who break their backs support Trump, the pencil pushers at the top are going to be little girls and not endorse at all. Clowns
@tyreetw
ok teamsters, now you know this is a sport, if you dont side with us, you on your own, just remember that the republican party is a super union busting party, good luck
