In the poll ending Sept. 15, Teamsters selected Trump by 58 percent for endorsement over 31 percent for Harris. From April 9-July 3, nearly 300 Teamsters local unions nationwide conducted first-of-their-kind Presidential town halls, soliciting endorsement preferences from members via straw polls. The in-person voting was held prior to Biden’s withdrawal from the race. The Teamsters’ polling data shows members backed Biden 44.3 percent to Trump’s 36.3 percent. Biden signed a law that ended their strike. Why is Harris polling lower with them? Did she break a tie to get it through the senate?
