WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Teamsters union's executive board said Wednesday the union will not endorse any presidential candidate despite polling that showed a majority of members backed Republican Donald Trump over Democrat Kamala Harris. The union said the polling did not show universal support among the membership for the former president.

The Teamsters president, Sean O’Brien, has shown an openness to former President Donald J. Trump, dividing the powerful union. Neither candidate will be the beneficiary of its considerable organizing muscle.

This is the first time since 1996 that the union, which has over 1.3 million members, hasn’t endorsed a political candidate.
