TRUMP LEADS HARRIS IN TEAMSTER MEMBER’S POLL ..59.6% TO 34%
The 1.3 million members showed they preferred Trump over Harris by 59.6% to 34%, previously, the Teamsters had endorsed every Democratic candidate for president since 2000. This was the First time since 1996 that the union is not making an endorsement. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters said on Wednesday that the union will not endorse any U.S. presidential candidate despite polling that showed a majority of members backed Republican candidate Donald Trump over Democrat Kamala Harris. The union, which represents truck drivers and a wide range of other workers ranging from airline pilots to zookeepers – had released a national electronic poll of its members Wednesday that showed rank-and-file members preferred the former president over Vice President Harris by 59.6% to 34% ……a disaster for the democrats.
“For the past year, the Teamsters Union has pledged to conduct the most inclusive, democratic, and transparent Presidential endorsement process in the history of our 121-year-old organization — and today we are delivering on that promise to our members,” Sean O’Brien Teamsters President said in a statement. “Our members are the union, and their voices and opinions must be at the forefront of everything the Teamsters do,” he continued. “Our final decision around a possible Presidential endorsement will not be made lightly, but you can be sure it will be driven directly by our diverse membership.” The Teamster’s executive board announced on Wednesday afternoon it would not endorse a candidate in this year’s presidential election. The poll was conducted by Lake Research Partners.

“The union, which represents truck drivers and a wide range of other workers ranging from airline pilots to zookeepers”. 59.6 % for Trump from 1.3 million is a very good sampling number…bad news for Harris!
The anti Trump forces are getting desperate now that they know the people are growing tired of this media bias. Trump will probably win by a margin similar to the results of the Teamsters Union.
This looks similar to the recent referendum where they tried to stitch up the Australian people by asking them to agree to dividing the country by race.
The Democrats could lose “safe” states like Virginia or even New York the way the tide is turning against the Harris despite the presence of Trump. He could pave the way for Tulsi Gabbard to take over further down the track.
It gets back to the decision to hide Biden’s deteriorating mental condition for so long has spelled disaster for the Democrats accentuated by the promotion of Harris, a left wing fruit cake.
The key states that she needs to win — Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin — happen to be home to some of the union’s biggest membership strongholds. Teamster member-to-member political operations could have played a pivotal role in getting out the vote for Harris and influencing the outcome of the election. Worst of all, if the internal phone poll is anywhere close to accurate, it suggests that Harris is doing very badly among working-class voters.
