The California Teamsters recently announced their endorsement of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, despite the national Teamsters union’s decision not to endorse any candidate in the 2024 election. The California Teamsters cited polling data that showed a majority of their members favored Donald Trump. This decision highlights the political divisions within the Teamsters organization.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump held a rally in New York where he made false claims, including stating that the planet is getting cooler despite record-breaking temperatures. He also announced plans to turn Ground Zero into a national monument and criticized immigration, receiving mixed reactions from the audience.
In response, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris received endorsements from various Teamsters unions in battleground states like Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin. The Trump campaign accused Iranian hackers of interfering in the election by seeking information on Trump’s campaign to help Harris and Biden.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell also made comments about the economy, stating the need for a “recalibration” due to declining inflation. Analysts believe Powell is aiming for a “soft landing” to prevent weakening in the job market.
Overall, the political landscape remains contentious as the election draws closer, with endorsements, false claims, and accusations of interference shaping the debate between the two presidential candidates.
