Harris seeks endorsement from Teamsters during campaign.

• The International Brotherhood of Teamsters will meet with Vice President Kamala Harris in Washington to discuss her request for their endorsement.
• Both Trump and Biden have participated in Teamsters roundtables since December.
• President Sean O'Brien of the Teamsters has stated that the endorsement will be given to the candidate who presents the strongest argument for the interests of working families, regardless of their historical affiliation with the Democratic party.

On Monday, in Washington, Vice President Kamala Harris will meet with members of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters to seek their endorsement.

One of the last organized labor groups to issue a presidential endorsement is the Teamsters, with 1.3 million members, as there are only 50 days until the November election.

Historically, the Teamsters have supported the Democratic presidential candidate following the completion of both parties' nominating conventions.

This year, Teamsters president Sean O'Brien announced that the union would delay its endorsement of a presidential candidate until they found the best option for working families, even if it meant going against tradition.

On Monday, Harris will have a meeting with the rank-and-file Teamsters, as well as O'Brien and other members of the union's executive leadership.

A Harris campaign spokesperson stated on Sunday that the Vice President values her meeting with IBT leadership to discuss her lifelong commitment to supporting and defending unions, including her role in the most pro-union administration in history.

Both Harris and Trump are targeting working-class voters in the upcoming meeting.

The Butch Lewis Act was saved by Vice President Harris's deciding vote, and as president, she will collaborate with Congress to pass the PRO Act, according to the spokesperson.

Both Trump and President Biden have participated in Teamsters roundtables since their inception in December.

O'Brien stated on "Face the Nation" that one does not hire someone without first giving them an interview.

The Teamsters have been more actively engaged with the Republican ticket during this vetting process, with O'Brien leading the efforts.

At the Republican National Convention in July, the first Teamster ever to speak at the GOP nominating event, O'Brien raised eyebrows.

The Teamsters president later condemned Trump's comments in the summer, where the Republican applauded the idea of firing workers who threaten to strike.

In response to those comments, O'Brien stated that firing workers for exercising their rights as Americans, organizing, and striking is a form of economic terrorism.
