"We look forward to
Vice President Harris joining a roundtable of rank-and-file Teamsters to discuss the issues of importance to workers," Kara Deniz, the Teamster's assistant director of communications, told The Hill.
The Harris campaign
has received a number of high-profile
labor endorsements including the
United Auto Workers (UAW) and American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), but the Teamsters have notably not endorsed a presidential candidate in the upcoming election.
Former
President Trump attended a roundtable hosted by the Teamsters on Jan. 31, and Teamsters General President Sean O'Brien called the former president "one tough S.O.B." during remarks at the
Republican National Committee last month in Milwaukee.
O'Brien has also requested to speak at the Democratic National Convention next week in Chicago. So far, he has not been invited.
