met Tuesday with one of the few unions yet to endorse him, making the case for its backing amid flirtations with former President, calls himself the most pro-union president in history, and made the case that the International Brotherhood of Teamsters should back him as well.
That donation came the same day that Teamsters leaders met, for the second time this year, with Trump, who has heavily courted union members despite lacking support from union leadership. Though the Teamsters made an equal donation to the Democratic National Committee, even the split donations represented a departure from precedent.
Still, its status as a holdout in the endorsement sweepstakes is part of a long-standing independent streak, argues labor union expert Dan Bowling. Trump has actively courted other union endorsements, or at least the votes of union members, during the current cycle. When Biden visited a United Auto Workers picket line in Michigan last September, TrumpTrump attacked electric vehicles as bad for workers, an issue that could be at play with Teamsters as well.
