Teamsters Union Makes First Major GOP Donation Since 2004 Following Trump Meeting

Weeks after a meeting between former President Donald Trump and Teamsters Union leaders, including President Sean O'Brien and Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman, along with the union's executive board at their Washington, DC headquarters, America's most powerful labor union has made the first major donation to Republicans in two decades. This move has sparked huge concern that unions are losing faith in President Biden, lauded as the most pro-union president ever.

According to Axios, the Teamsters' political committee donated $45,000, the maximum amount permitted, to the Republican National Committee. This was the first 'big' donation the union has made to the RNC since 2004.

This comes after Trump attended a meeting with the heads of Teamsters last month.

The Teamsters know the economy will be far better under Trump.

This is a huge move by the Teamsters - they have a pulse on their membership unlike the UAW who donate against their members' preferences.
