The Teamsters Union issued a statement, September 18, that "the General Executive Board of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters on Wednesday elected not to endorse any candidate for U.S. President." As we report on our website, this non-endorsement of Kamala Harris is a victory for President Trump.

Teamsters President Sean O’Brien was the first labor leader in decades to speak to the Republican Convention in July. The convention platform was dedicated "To The Forgotten Men and Women of America," and that is Trump's vision. In an internal membership poll, the Teamsters showed that members preferred Trump by a margin of 59.6% to 34%.

Democrats in Pennsylvania are entering the home stretch of the 2024 election with their weakest voter registration advantage compared to Republicans in recent decades. Pennsylvania is seen, by both parties, as a key swing state that they need to win. With Pennsylvania’s Oct. 21 registration deadline fast approaching, Republicans have nearly 40,000 more voters than they had in November 2020. Democrats, on the other hand, are roughly 303,000 voters behind their 2020 status.

Democrats, in particular, have expressed concern that, without strong turnout in vote-rich Philadelphia, they can’t win the state. Republican activists argue their party’s rising voter registrant share proves Donald Trump can once again pull off a victory in Pennsylvania.
