Teamsters Delay Presidential Endorsement Pending Harris Meeting
Union President Sean O'Brien emphasizes the need to discuss labor issues with Vice President Harris before making a decision.
- The Teamsters union is holding off on endorsing a presidential candidate until Vice President Harris agrees to a meeting.
- Union President Sean O'Brien has already met with former President Trump but insists on interviewing Harris for a fair assessment.
- O'Brien highlighted that the union's membership is evenly split between Republicans and Democrats, necessitating a balanced approach.
- The union has a history of Democratic endorsements but remains open to the best candidate for labor, regardless of party affiliation.
- O'Brien's appearance at the Republican National Convention and exclusion from the Democratic Convention have added complexity to the endorsement process.
