Trump Courts Union Support Ahead of 2024 Elections

Former President's Meeting with Teamsters Boss Raises Questions About Biden's Union Backing

  • Former President Donald Trump met with Sean O’Brien, the General President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, one of the largest and most influential unions in the United States, at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.
  • The meeting is seen as a bid to secure union support ahead of the 2024 elections, raising concerns about President Joe Biden's union support.
  • Trump and O’Brien are set to meet again in January for a 'presidential roundtable' in Washington, D.C., to discuss ways to improve the lives of working people.
  • The Teamsters Union, which represents 1.3 million workers in the United States, has been meeting with 2024 presidential candidates from both parties.
  • In 2020, Biden received the Teamsters's endorsement, but the union has not promised to do so again in 2024.
