CFPB expands oversight of digital payments services including Apple Pay and Cash App
David Marcus suggests that members of the Teamsters, a large labor union prevalent amongst transport workers in America, are more inclined to view former President Donald Trump favorably over Vice President Kamala Harris.
Marcus could be implying several reasons for this. Firstly, Trump’s economic policies, like deregulation and tax cuts, were packaged to favor prosperity and jobs growth, which appealed to many working-class citizens. Trump’s “America First” rhetoric, addressing the problems of globalization and offshoring, might also have resonated with the Teamsters.
Secondly, Trump’s direct, populist style may have had a stronger appeal to these labor union members, compared to Harris’s more traditional, professional politician image.
It should be noted that this is an opinion and depends on the individual preferences and political beliefs of Teamsters members. The Teamsters union itself has historically supported Democratic candidates, including Harris and President Joe Biden, but like any large group, its members have a range of political views.
