Teamsters consider not supporting Biden in 2024 nomination race

WASHINGTON –

U.S. President Joe Biden is on the verge of failing to secure the support of a key union as leaders of the 1.3 million-member Teamsters union consider not backing any candidate in the U.S. presidential race, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The decision by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters has not yet been finalized and is expected to be made in the coming weeks.

Failure to support Biden, whom the union backed in 2020, would deepen the political damage to the Democratic president’s re-election bid.
