Trump on Not Receiving Endorsement from Teamsters: ‘It’s a Great Honor, They’re Not Going to Endorse the Democrats’

Reporter: “Mr. President, any reaction to the Teamsters’ decision not to endorse?”

Trump: “No, they were — it’s a great honor. They’re not going to endorse the Democrats. That’s a big thing. And this is the first time in, I guess, 50, 60 years that that’s happened. Democrats automatically have the Teamsters. They took a vote and I guess I was at 60 percent or more, and that’s a great honor. I mean, it’s really — I’ve had a lot of Teamsters work for me. A lot of the concrete trucks have built all these buildings that you see in New York City. The Teamsters, exclusively Teamsters, I have to say, they’ve done a great job. But the vote of the Teamsters themselves was very high for me, and the leadership, Sean O’Brien and the group, who are great people, they said we can’t endorse the Democrats. So I think this is the first time in many decades that they haven’t endorsed Democrats.”
