Kamala’s been looking everywhere for the union label, but she just can’t seem to find one.
In the latest blow to her campaign, the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) has followed in the footsteps of the Teamsters union and declined to endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential race. This breaks with a decades-long tradition of the IAFF endorsing nearly all Democrat presidential candidates.
A post that appeared on the IAFF’s X account Thursday stated that their executive board voted not to endorse after “taking unprecedented steps to hear our members’ views and the policy issues that matter most to them” over the past year. In other words, the union doesn’t like Kamala, but also doesn’t want the blowback they’d get from endorsing Trump. So they do nothing.
