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.

    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.
