In a September 18 press release, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters reported on its decision to not endorse a presidential candidate. After six months of polling and a year of discussions with major candidates, the union did not find ideal commitment from the candidates on its key issues. While President Joe Biden had support in local union straw polls earlier in the year, independent polling from July to September showed that most members favored Trump over Harris for a potential endorsement. As a result, the union chose to remain neutral in the presidential race.
