One thing to note is that the Teamsters are overwhelmingly men.
80.8% men to 19.2% women
With Trump leading among men this makes the Teamsters' electoral preference very predictable.

@mastodonmigration @i_gvf @Semafor @semafor-Semafor And probably uneducated white males to boot. Not to mention that teamsters likely are not fans of public transportation, such as railroads, and they certainly don't like gas taxes. They are hardly the demographics favorable to the Democratic party.

It is certainly a demographic that Trump targets with his hateful misogynistic rhetoric, which is amplified by targeted media campaigns on radio, TV, podcasts and social media.
