The Teamsters union on Wednesday said polling shows most of its members back Republican former President Donald Trump’s bid for a new term in the White House over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.

The 1.3 million-member union said its executive board plans to announce later on Wednesday who it is endorsing in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

The union said a national electronic poll of its members from July 24-Sept. 15 showed rank-and-file Teamsters voted 59.6% to endorse Trump compared with 34% for Harris.

    Isn’t a party realignment spurred by culture war stuff exactly what trump’s broad strategy has been all along? I’m gonna guess that if you removed the fact that they are in a union, many teamsters members probably look a lot like typical trump voters.
