Last major union yet to endorse in Harris-Trump showdown nears final decision

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the only union among the nation’s top 10 that hasn’t endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in her 2024 faceoff with former President Trump, could make an announcement later this week on whom they’re backing in the White House race.

“We are going to look at any and all options, and I can’t commit to what we’re going to do,” Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien told reporters at the union’s national headquarters in the nation’s capital.

O’Brien spoke after he and other Teamsters leaders met behind closed doors with Harris on Monday for a roundtable discussion.

The vice president didn’t speak with reporters as she departed the Teamsters headquarters after making her pitch, as the Democrats’ presidential nominee works to maintain her party’s traditional high level of support from organized labor.

O’Brien late last year announced the union’s first-ever interview process for their 2024 presidential endorsement and invited the major party candidates to make their cases.
