Democrats have claimed support from labor unions for time out of mind. Unions have rallied behind liberals because, a long time ago, they supported working Americans. Joe Biden even won the support of many unions in 2020.
But how has Biden helped union members since then? He’s let in 7.2 million undocumented workers. He’s caused gas prices to skyrocket. And he’s allowed inflation to jeopardize American families’ ability to put food on the table.
Plenty of unions are sure to keep supporting Biden, despite the obvious. But one major union has just stunned the left with this move. It’s safe to say nobody saw this coming. And Democrats will be scrambling to recover.
From The Post Millennial:
Major labor union the Teamsters that has donated to Democrats for decades pledged a $45,000 donation to the Republican National Committee last month after meeting with former President Donald Trump.The reported donation is not an endorsement of the Republican nominee or Trump as the frontrunner, however, it is a move in stark contrast to the union supporting every Democratic nominee for the president since Al Gore.
In a move that will have Democratic strategists panicking, large labor union the Teamsters has pledged to give the GOP $45,000. This comes after Trump met with union officials twice.
The Teamsters represents thousands of American workers across numerous industries, including truck drivers. Trump enjoys growing support among truckers and other hard-working Americans. He has long been called the “blue-collar billionaire” because of his reputation among regular folks.
It is likely Trump was able to win over union representatives, during his two meetings. The union has backed Democrat presidential candidates since Al Gore. A donation of this size will send shockwaves across the union world.
The Teamsters has not officially endorsed Trump. But the former president said he had a “good shot” at getting it. Should this major union back Trump over Biden, many blue-collar Americans could jump ship from the Democratic Party.
Biden’s team is no doubt seeking to do damage control. But Joe will have a hard time winning over working Americans, due to his terrible record on the economy and immigration.
Key Takeaways:
- The Teamsters just pledged to give the RNC $45,000.
- This comes after it met with Donald Trump on two occasions.
- The major union has backed Democrat presidential candidates since 2000.
