Michigan Firefighters Union Declines to Endorse Kamala Harris in 2024 Election

The Michigan Professional Fire Fighters Union follows national guidance, leaving Harris without key union support in a crucial swing state.

The Michigan Professional Fire Fighters Union decided not to endorse any candidate in the 2024 presidential election, aligning with the International Association of Fire Fighters' (IAFF) national stance.
Harris campaign officials were reportedly caught off guard by the decision, having anticipated support from the Michigan chapter in the pivotal swing state.
The IAFF's decision not to endorse either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump reflects internal divisions, with many rank-and-file members leaning towards Trump.
The California Professional Firefighters union, however, has endorsed Harris, citing her history of supporting firefighters in the state.
This non-endorsement follows a similar decision by the Teamsters Union, highlighting Harris's challenges in securing traditional Democratic union support.
