Former President Donald Trump expressed his satisfaction after the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, one of the largest and most influential trade unions, chose not to endorse a candidate for the 2024 election. During a visit to a Bitcoin bar in New York City, Trump commented that it was “a great honor” to receive this non-endorsement, marking the first time in decades that the union did not back a Democrat.

Trump emphasized that this decision could have a significant impact on the election, highlighting the influence the Teamsters hold. He also mentioned his positive relationship with the union’s leadership, particularly its president, Sean O’Brien, and how they opted against endorsing the Democratic Party in the upcoming race.
