Sean O'Brien, the Teamsters Union president, spoke at the RNC last night. He didn't endorse Trump, but his presence at the RNC seems like a direct slap in Biden's face. See https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elect...

And from https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/exclusive-...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Joe Biden is on the brink of failing to win a key labor endorsement as leaders of the 1.3 million-member Teamsters union consider backing no candidate at all in the U.S. presidential race, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters decision has not been finalized and is expected to be made in the coming weeks.

Not backing Biden, who the union endorsed in 2020, would compound political damage to the Democratic president's reelection bid.

Especially after Biden bailed out the union's pension fund in 2022:

Biden’s $36 billion to save Teamsters fund from insolvency is largest-ever private pension bailout

Union Bosses are listening to the rank and file.
The rank and file are the working class who also is hurting in Biden’s economy, high food and gas prices....etc.

The Teamsters have historically backed winners.

If Biden showed more promise as a candidate, I bet he'd get the endorsement.
