The leadership knows Biden and Harris are very friendly to organized labor and Trump is not...but come ok guys. The Teamster membership is very conservative and mostly white men with only a high school diploma. The leadership ultimately decided it was better off not to piss the large majority of it's membership off, and it sounds like Harris knew this and more or less gave open approval for this tactic of neutrality in her meeting earlier in the week.

Of course she will. I don't think that amounts to approval for their non-endorsement, though I could be wrong. But really, would anyone expect her to screw the teamsters because too many of them are politically idiotic or racist?

Can you quote her to that effect? Anyway, I'm definitely glad they weren't invited to speak at the Democratic National Convention.
