As we told you earlier, Teamsters President Sean O'Brien, who spoke at the Republican convention in Milwaukee this summer, announced that the union he heads up will not be making a presidential endorsement this year, which hasn't happened in decades.
The Teamster president's refusal to endorse comes despite the fact that the union's own internal polling shows the members overwhelmingly supporter Donald Trump. Their members' poll shows the rank-and-file backs Trump 60 percent to Harris' 34 percent:

The rank-and-file Teamsters know that Kamala is weak and will hurt their pocketbooks.

We’re starting to get a little peek beneath the fake veneer the Dems and the MSM are putting on. We’re winning. I can feel it.

Hopefully that was a very minimal preview of election night, but we'll see.
