NYC police union holding votes on presidential endorsement after 2020 controversy
One of New York City’s most prominent police unions is holding a first-of-its kind internal vote to decide which candidate to endorse for the 2024 presidential race — but some officers already know who they think should be in the White House.
Some members think voting on the endorsement is a waste of time, however, as they believe the majority of cops feel Donald Trump is the obvious pro-police candidate. The unusual vote comes four years after the city’s most prominent police union — the Police Benevolent Association — broke a decades-long tradition of withholding presidential endorsements and threw its weight behind Donald Trump.
“The world’s best detectives are members of the most diverse NYPD in history. With the results of this poll, local, state and national leaders will know how we feel and what we intend to do in November,” Munro told The Post of the decision to hold a vote this election.
