There’s this idea floating around that labor unions are always in the pocket of the Democratic Party. It’s been the narrative for years—unions back Democrats, and Democrats claim to fight for the working class. But here’s the thing: that’s not always how it shakes out in reality.

For all the talk, many of the policies coming from the left have hurt the very people they claim to protect. Democrats have pushed for environmental regulations that have killed jobs in industries like coal, manufacturing, and even construction. And the working Americans who actually hold those jobs? They’re starting to notice.

Just look at the inflation we’ve been dealing with. Sure, wages might be up a little, but what good is that when everything costs more than it did a year ago? Under Biden’s administration, the price of gas, groceries, and rent has skyrocketed, squeezing regular folks the hardest.

Meanwhile, Democrats keep pushing policies that feel more like social experiments than solutions for working people. So, the old union-Democrat love affair? Yeah, that’s cooling off. And who’s stepping in to catch the workers’ eye? None other than Donald J. Trump.

From The Post Millennial:
While the Teamsters union has announced that it won’t endorse any candidate in the 2024 election, internal polling of its members across all 50 states has found that its members overwhelmingly support Trump, even in Democrat strongholds.

Trump saw the largest lead in West Virginia, where he received 86.3 percent support compared to 11.2 percent for Kamala Harris, a 75.1-point lead.

Take the Teamsters, for example. You’d think they’d be all in for Biden and the Democrats in 2024, right? Not this time. The union announced that it’s sitting this one out in terms of endorsements.

And get this—internal polling of Teamsters members shows that Trump has overwhelming support, even in states where Democrats typically run the show. The numbers are mind-blowing. In West Virginia, for example, Trump led Harris by a whopping 75 points. That’s not just a lead—that’s a landslide.

But it doesn’t stop there. Trump has a massive edge in states you might not expect. He’s 50 points ahead in Tennessee, 40 points up in places like Arkansas, Indiana, and Virginia, and about 30 points ahead in states like Ohio, Hawaii, and even Maine. Yeah, you read that right—Hawaii.

This is happening across the board, and it’s not just in the usual Republican strongholds. Swing states? Trump is crushing Harris there, too. In Michigan, he’s up by 26 points. Pennsylvania? He’s got a 34-point lead. North Carolina? He’s ahead by almost 40 points.

Even in traditionally blue states like California, Oregon, and New York, Trump’s pulling ahead of Harris. In New York, for example, Trump’s leading by nearly 30 points.

That’s New York, a state that hasn’t gone red in a presidential election since the Reagan days. It’s clear that something’s shifting, and union workers—who’ve been the backbone of Democratic campaigns for decades—are starting to see Trump as their guy.

Sure, the Teamsters themselves might not be endorsing anyone officially, but their members are speaking loud and clear. They’re tired of being left behind by policies that don’t seem to care about their jobs or their wallets.

And let’s face it, when was the last time a Democrat really put the working class first? While Biden’s busy pushing electric cars and shutting down pipelines, Trump’s been out there talking about bringing jobs back, securing the border, and getting America back to work.

The poll, conducted electronically by BallotPoint Election Services, involved over 35,000 Teamsters members from all 50 states. The results aren’t just some fluke—they reflect a real shift in how the working class views the current political landscape.

The union’s press release even admitted that after months of interviews with both Trump and Harris, there were few commitments made to the issues that really matter to Teamsters. Translation? Neither candidate made a strong enough case, but members still overwhelmingly favor Trump.

The only real outliers in the poll were Washington, D.C. and Wyoming. In D.C., unsurprisingly, Harris got nearly 97% of the vote, which is kind of what you’d expect in the heart of the swamp.

Wyoming? Well, they didn’t even participate. Go figure. But everywhere else? It’s Trump country now.

So, what does this all mean? Well, the idea that unions are a Democratic monopoly is being blown out of the water. Working people—union or not—are tired of politicians who talk a big game but don’t deliver where it counts.

And in 2024, they might just turn to the guy who’s proven he’s willing to fight for them, no matter what the establishment says.

Key Takeaways:

• The Teamsters union has chosen not to endorse any candidate in the 2024 election.
• Internal polling indicates that Teamsters members across all 50 states overwhelmingly support Donald Trump, even in traditionally Democratic areas.
• In West Virginia, Trump leads Kamala Harris by 75.1 points, with 86.3% support compared to Harris’s 11.2%.
