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.

        They lap it up, too. It’s ridiculous that they push for a candidate that will actively work to create a world where these guys are paid less, but the greatest consequence these guys can get for their votes is his winning.

      Because it is not about economics. It has never been about economics. Not in 2016, not in 2020, and not now.

      It is about misogyny and racism. And has been long before Trump too.
