Former Longtime Teamsters President Blasts Successor For Not Backing Harris
HuffPost
Jim Hoffa accused the union’s current president, Sean O’Brien, of "a failure of leadership," saying he boosted Trump’s campaign with a non-endorsement.
Former longtime Teamsters President Jim Hoffa blasted his successor on Thursday for the union’s controversial decision not to endorse Kamala Harris for president.
Hoffa accused the union’s current leader, Sean O’Brien, of a “failure of leadership,” saying the Teamsters’ non-endorsement would boost the campaign of former President Donald Trump. He called it “a critical error” on O’Brien’s part.
“There is only one candidate in this race that has supported working families and unions throughout their career, and that is Vice President Kamala Harris,” he said in a statement sent to reporters.
Hoffa, the son of Jimmy Hoffa, headed the union for 23 years before stepping down in 2022. He said he oversaw the presidential endorsement process six times during his tenure.
“In every case, we supported the candidate that demonstrated a proven track record of fighting for working Americans and unions,” Hoffa said.
