Will Sean O’Brien and the Teamsters Union endorse Kamala Harris for President after a “tense meeting” on Monday? That this is even a question shows how our political planet had done a pole reversal. Teamsters President O’Brien has indicated that he will make a decision by Wednesday. Chances are he will endorse Harris on behalf of the Teamsters. Even if it is against their best interests, the favored groups always go back home in the end. Trust.

As the daughter and sister of United Auto Workers (UAW) members, I know how important unions are for the protection of workers’ rights. I don’t always agree with the union tactics, but I understand. Even without the horrible fake accent Kamala is wrong. Henry Ford started the 5 day work week and 40 hour week. President W.H. Taft first proposed vacation time.

So, Miss Kamala went to meet with the Teamsters’ Poobahs in D.C. today to bet for their endorsement. From the New York Times:

While Ms. Harris has the endorsement of most of the nation’s unions, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, whose truck drivers, freight workers and other members are divided in their political allegiances, has held out. Sean O’Brien, the union’s combative president, said after the meeting that he could announce an endorsement — if there was an endorsement — as soon as Wednesday.

Truck drivers and freight workers rely on gas to do their jobs. Bernie Sanders may have given the “hint, hint, wink, wink” that Kamala is only pretending she won’t ban fracking:

Bernie Sanders literally just outed Kamala Harris.

He says she’s only moderating her positions long enough to win the election.

But, union heads and their workers aren’t the uneducated, knuckle-dragging thugs that the Democrat elites suppose them to be. That’s why I was surprised that the UAW endorsed Kamala. Oy. I am here to talk about the Teamsters. Don’t get me started on the UAW. Anyhoo.

More from the New York Times:

At the end of the meeting Ms. Harris told the leaders of the union, which has 1.3 million members, “I’m confident I’m going to win this,” according to Mr. Palmer. She also said, “I want your endorsement, but if I don’t get it, I will treat you exactly as if I had gotten your endorsement,” he added — a characterization that Ms. Harris’s campaign aides did not contradict.

I don’t know but that kind of sounds like a warning to me. More:

After the meeting, Mr. O’Brien said that he still needed time to consider the union’s next move. Ms. Harris opened the meeting by saying she understood she might not get the union’s endorsement, and that some Teamsters would be voting on issues beyond labor, such as the border, according to another person in the room.

That person said she had asked that Teamsters leaders educate their members about the bipartisan border control bill that she had backed and that Mr. Trump had killed. She also recalled how Mr. Trump had told Elon Musk that striking workers should be fired, and she said to them, “Listen to the guy when he’s told you who he is.”

Warning or THREAT? “Educate their members”? That bipartisan border bill was a bit of shite. The Dems can keep repeating that Trump killed the bill but, even James Lankford who helped write the bill ended up against it.

So Harris met with the Teamsters board today:

Harris does not have “cred” for anything. Well, she has as much cred as she does “votes”. Hopefully, Kamala didn’t start any of her answers to Sean O’Brien with her standard:

The poles have switched and that’s why Sean O’Brien spoke at the Republican Convention this cycle but not the Democrat one. He has also been out to Mar-a-Lago a time or two. As for Biden and Harris:

…allies of Mr. O’Brien indicated that they were still angry that Mr. Biden signed legislation ending a rail strike and imposing a labor agreement between rail companies and workers. Ms. Harris said that the move had been initiated by Congress, not the president. They also hit her for not pre-emptively saying the White House would play no role in settling the Teamsters’ dispute with UPS.

Ruh-roh. That could be a problem. Miss Harris wants to unburden herself from anything that might cause her to make a decision.

I still believe that, at the end of the day, the Teamsters will endorse Kamala. They always go home. Although if they didn’t endorse anyone that would be quite the scandal. A late September surprise!
