Several local Teamsters groups have made their own decision to endorse Kamala Harris after the national union declined to do so. Teamsters are known for their influential political support and these endorsements can play a very pivotal role in bringing about political change. This move shows a division within the national union, with local groups seemingly straying from the national standpoint. Harris, who is seen as a pro-labor candidate with policies supportive of workers rights, seems to have won the endorsement of these local Teamsters groups for her stance.
