The Trump Card...

This Teamsters non-endorsement is curious. I have not looked deeply into this. I do wonder, if the polls show strong support for Trump among Teamsters, why did their union not endorse Trump; especially when warm relations were shown by the Teamsters at the Republican convention?

Also, if the polls show strong support for Trump among Teamsters, why are multiple Teamster state organizations and caucuses coming out for Harris?

Something seems off.
What's "off" is the Teamsters' leadership being out of sync with the rank-and-file members. They're trying to play games with both political parties while their members voted overwhelmingly for Trump. Notice their final poll came *after* the DNC convention and the Trump-Harris debate. This result could be a critical indicator of the attitude of middle-class Americans in general.

"In the past week, following the Democratic National Convention and recent Presidential debate, the Teamsters commissioned independent polling firm Lake Research Partners to conduct the union’s final national survey. In the poll ending Sept. 15, Teamsters selected Trump by 58 percent for endorsement over 31 percent for Harris."

One poll among many, and the many favor Harris.
