. >>> we turn now to the race for the white house, the powerful teamsters union tonight refusing to endorse donald trump or kamala harris, but tonight, vice president harris says she's received the endorsement of 100 republicans that worked in national security. and it all comes amid new polls in the key battlegrounds tonight. what they show. here's rachel scott. >> reporter: tonight, the powerhouse teamsters union announcing that for the first time in nearly 30 years, it will not endorse in the presidential race. union president sean o'brien declaring, "neither major candidate was able to make serious commitments to our union to ensure the interests of working people are always put before big business." both campaigns went all-out for the teamsters, former president donald trump even inviting o'brien to address the republican national convention. >> at the end of the day, the teamsters are not interested if you have a "d," "r," or an "i" next to your name. we want to know one thing. what are you doing to help american workers? >> reporter: but trump also sparking anger among unions when he

what you make of this teamsters thing?alking to sean o'brien, the members for teamsters one or donald trump is the official position is no endorsement at all. >> i think it's great news for the republican party, sort of outreaching to do you working class man. think a lot of what we stand for does appeal to the working class and trump if anything, if he wants any labor union, i think he would buy far be more popular than it kamala harris. and i think their value systems standing for the common man if you will, that is where trump i think is expanding the republican party. >> neil: where do you think stand right now? let a people why the former president is in new york, may be one of his guest staff pointed out, this is all about picking off some vulnerable democratic states and maybe through new york building on that house majority that you enjoy, what you think of that? >> it strategically down. new york and california are in the majority of the house, and very honored that president trump is going to new york to help the

president, any reaction to the teamsters' decision not to endorse? >> no, it's a great honor. they're not going to endorse the democrats. that's a big thing. >> big difference in the bit industrial state, do you think? will it make a difference? the bit industrial >> i think so. the teamsters carry a lot of weight. >> reporter: harris has won the backing of other unions including the united autoworkers and said teamsters locals across the country have already endorsed her alongside the overwhelming majority of organized labor and comes as we're seeing signs of new tighter security measures for trump. the fbi director saying he's devoting the, quote, full force of the agency to investigate the two attempts on trump's life within just two months. trump overnight thanking vice president harris for calling him. >> today a little while ago i got a very nice call from kamala. [ booing ] no, it was very nice. >> reporter: meanwhile harris in a speech to the congressional hispanic caucus institute blasting trump's call for mass deportations of undocumented migrants. >> donald trump an

love the teamsters.rwhelming majority of the local chapters and members and as a result actual organization has refused to endorse the democratic candidate for the first time in many, many decades [cheering] >> sandra: so the fallout has been fast and furious and we will talk with two teamsters members, one supporting vice president kamala harris on the other supporting former president donald trump in just a moment first let's get to peter doozy on what the white house is saying about all of this. hello peter. >> reporter: centric afternoon. harris campaign is looking at this and trying to direct everyone's eyes away from the nonendorsement of a democrat for the first time in 30 years and to the fact this kind of splintered the member -- members. local teamsters unions and the key battleground states of michigan nevada and wisconsin announced their support for vice president kamala harris. we heard this from the key harris surrogate. >> the vice president has been very prounion so obviously it's at thei

robert, a win for trump and a cowardly move for the teamster bosses.d democrats are in a quid pro quo relationship, you kind bite the hand that feeds. tomi, it's not a win, there's no gray area, they are either in together or not. carly says a major union not endorsing a democrat is a big win for trump and adonis says it's a win for trump simply because they did not endorse a democrat. fairpoint. thank you for watching america's late news, "fox news @ night". i'm trace gallagher in los angeles, we will see you back here again tomorrow night.

the teamsters nondecision.-endorsement can fairly be interpreted as a loss for vice president harris as you heard bryan just report. it happened despite her openly campaigning for that endorsement just two days ago. senior white house correspondent peter doocy has details live from the north lawn. good evening. peter. >> peter: bret, we have heard president biden refer to himself hundreds of times over the years as the most prounion president in history. and now his white house is explaining why his vice president left that meeting with the teamsters on monday empty-handed. >> as you know, this is a president and a vice president that has fought hard for europes throughout their administration. >> half of all americans want to see the next president make major changes, according to fox news poll. another 34% say they like drastic changes. >> i love you back. [cheers] >> among trump supporters 452% lining her because they like her policies as she campaigns more and more and the country gets to know her. >> recen

won the teamsters president sean o'brien spoke. it was a big deal to see ed teamsters president speaking in milwaukee at the republican national convection and you went on for a long time frankly, he was well received and i think because there were a lot of members and a lot of people who are sensitive to the needs of members who were in that audience big here's part of that statement from of the teamsters union, sean o'brien president, after reviewing six month of nationwide member polling and wrapping up nearly one year of rank and file roundtable interviews with all major candidates for the presidency, they union was left with few commitments on top teamsters issues from either former president trump or vice president harris and found no definitive support among members for either party's nominee. it now he spoke to vice president harris on monday i believe, let's put that pole up again,. [chuckling] that shows what the members said. >> incredible. >> martha: harris 31, trump 58, one was a phone pole, won't know was an online po

what are the teamsters?ollar workingmen, mainly the men who fix my plumbing, deliver my packages, and install a mirror over my bed. this union dispute reflects what a lot of men are going through, a husband or boyfriend may like trump but to keep the piece he keeps his mouth shut. you can see his eyes twitching out this message, my ballot for trump is under the flowerpots. no endorsement is an endorsement coming from men. men of all stripes favour trump including the ones who think he is a jerk. they would rather have a brutal badass than a nonsensical nincompoop. true, taylor swift endorsed hell which would -- kamala which would mean something if you lowered the voting age to 12. unlike the democrats, teamsters have jobs where consequences can be life or death. make a dumb choice on a construction site? good luck yelling quite fragility when you are dropping 90 feat. a lot of teamsters or truckers, they know when you raise their -- costs or force them to switch to ev's the price of everything goes up. but u

all of those teamsters have come out and support of kamala harris. so when you think about the fact that these battleground states really matter and all politics is local and it's about organizing boots on the ground to get at the word out, to get people to vote those critical states that we're talking about, the teamsters are going for kamala harris. i think that this conversation about the national narrative is absolutely true. in fact, that the nationals decided to sit this one out, but where she actually needs the people who are going door to door and getting their members out in those crowds. critical battleground states kamala harris has what and you can't look at that without looking at the numbers that we're also seeing today about those those three states, the quinnipiac poll that came out today, harris is up in pennsylvania, 51 to 45, michigan, 50%. donald trump has 45%. wisconsin, no clear leader there. i mean, you are just seeing so much of this within the margin of error. you see it there. 3.3 points when you're looking at these numbers

were you surprised with the break down of the teamsters members. >> i can't speak for the teamsters.t know what their thoughts are the steam fitters have voted in a poll. we have a 70% return in favor of president trump. >> brian: why? >> everything that's gone on the last four years. open border, inflation, gas prices, oil, mortgage rates. i mean i can go on and on. the immigrants just getting into neighborhoods like the neighborhood i grew up in, which i mentioned last night. i have a daughter down there, she is afraid to walk around. and this is a neighborhood i grew up in. these are where people worked hard all their life to buy a house in a nice neighborhood. and now it's destroyed by illegal immigrants and like i said last night, too. to david muir and lindsey davis those two hacks from the moderators from the debate, they don't have to go to springfield, ohio to look at mutilated animals. they can go right in queens in a federal park and you will see them all over the beach. it's disgusting. it's bringing the property value down. it's just ridiculous. >> brian: think about thi

and the team teamster stand out. i should note from what so far has been a clean sweep of major labor endorsements for harris-walz ticket but their focus may be more on what's happening inside the nearly 95,000 rank and file teamsters who were in the state of pennsylvania. the problem for the democratic ticket, the teamsters own fingers according to them showed that a majority of their members prefer trump. by lead source. tonight is the head of an influential labor group, one that has endorsed the harris-walz ticket. i should note, united auto workers president shawn fain, and it's great to have you here, shan, because when you look at this this is the first time the teamsters have not endorsed a presidential candidate since 1996 do you see this as a blow to vice president harris not really. >> look it's not a trump endorsement and you know, look, we've done polling in working class people union or not, and especially in our union. and i know the other unions mirror the same numbers but going back to 2008 and forwar

i remember if trump was here with the teamsters and the head of the teamsters union addressed the republican i mean, it was a screen of complaints. about how republicans have treated union members in some places. he still had a chance to air his views. people listened to them. now you get results like that. that is a huge, huge turnaround for the former president. that is one that is going to make a lot of political noise. >> sandra: that's making a wad of waves right now and we will see where the official endorsement goes. shouldn't be any surprised, but then again -- >> john: that's politics. wow, that is stunning pure put it up on the screen one more time because i've never seen anything like that before. >> sandra: that is incredible. that is just in. we will get brand-new reaction to that coming up. >> john: trump likes to say he is a good friend of the teamsters, hired plenty of teamsters members on his projects. texas lawmakers taking on the fentanyl crisis killing tens of thousands of americans each year appeared what they are doing to stop cartels from using a vital tool to make mil

i love the teamsters. >> reporter: an internal teamsters poll found more support for trump, but national union leadership decided not to endorse either candidate. local teamsters leader kevin moore says he isn't taking cues from the top. >> what i will tell you in michigan and the 245,000 active retirees in every local union in the state of michigan overwhelmingly, unanimously support the harris-walz campaign. >> reporter: meanwhile, the former president said he is planning to visit springfield, ohio, the town rattled by his campaign's false claims about haitian immigrants there stealing and eating pets. >> you may never see me again, but that's okay. got to do what i got to do. whatever happened to trump? well, he never got out of springfield. >> reporter: the city's mayor today gave himself emergency powers to deal with the ongoing turmoil, which has included more than 30 bomb threats and suggested a visit from trump would be problematic. >> should he choose to change his plans, it would convey a significant message of peace to the city of springfield. >> reporter: top ohio republicans

plus, aoc not too happy about the teamsters snubbing kamala harris. teamsters members are now speaking out criticizing their own union for not endorsing former president trump, former chrysler and gmceo is here and bill concha. more after this. >> the teamsters were many, many decades and always supporting the democrats. this year they refused to do it and took a poll and we got 60% of the poll from the teamsters. they're not going to support the deputy this is year. big nobody expected that.

the teamsters labor union and its 1.3 million members are not endorsing her. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." that labor organization announced it will not endorse a candidate period this time around. here is what makes this particularly damaging for democrats. it marks the first time since 1996, nearly 30 years, that group, that important union with all of its members, has not backed a democrat white house nominee. so kamala harris has helped them gain that check mark in history. teamsters president sean o'brien spoke about the decision. >> we interviewed both candidates and we were seeking commitments from both candidates and we couldn't get solid commitments on our core issues. no endorsement sends a message to both parties that if they truly want to support working people, they have to re-evaluate it and understand that nothing is given. it is earned. >> harris: the non-endorsement could hurt kamala harris's push to position herself as a working class candidate. former president donald trump spoke to fox about it. >> the teamsters,

what's the teamsters? its truckers, construction workers. solely boys who shave their chest. these guys -- this is trump's people. i've said this before. people made this about race. it's about gender. if men don't want to be in a place where they aren't wanted and that's a democrat party. we are the leaders cannot define a woman and redefine men as tim walz which is hilarious. mostly dudes, they are tough, productive, sensible believers in self-defense for their family, for their friends, for their property. all these traits, you know, because of the infiltration of the woke have been branded as toxic. the democrats have forgotten the evolutionary traits of men is to protect the things they love which include women and the woke agenda has undermined that the area to look at the attack on women sports, look at the attacks on police and bailed here to protect women. that's due to the democrats. going after parental rights. these are things that men hate because in their genes, in their blood they want to protect. at the democrat party is sayi

the teamsters union says it will not endorse donald trump or kamala harris. but tonight, vice president harris saying she's received the endorsement of 100 republicans who worked in national security for presidents reagan, both bushes, and for president trump, now endorsing harris for president. and the new polls right here tonight. pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin. where this race stands right now. >>> we're learning more about that delta flight, the emergency landing, reports that passengers were bleeding from their ears amid problems with pressurization in the cabin. >>> in france tonight, that case gripping the country and much of europe. the wife who did not have to go public, today taking the stand, testifying against her ex-husband after he admitted to committing the unthinkable. >>> and "america strong" tonight. you'll know them from the movie. what they did for nasa. the major honor tonight. hidden no more. >> david: good evening. and we begin tonight with the sweeping and deadly attacks. 24 hours ago, it was pagers going off with deadly force. toda

and a lot of teamsters are truckers. they know that when you raise their fuelg of or force themey kno to switch to evs, the price of everything goes up. >> but their union leaders, they'd rather wash their hands of the whole thing eve . >> they just shook hands with jerry nadler's proctologist. watch th >> i know, but again, the raceit ain't about race. it's gender. teamsterh jerry'proctos are most tough, protective, sensible defenders of family and property. what do you do when all of that becomes an objects of fam c mockery. you flee faster than tim walz after a balloo on pops. yeah. wan >> men. men don't want to be in a place where they aren't wanted. and that's the current democrat party, where its leaders cannot define a woman but send men tonnot d women's prisons. but trump knowefs real men are this key. the key to this electiontrump k >> especially you, harry. harry, get up. harry. harry, get your fat out of the- couch. you're going to vote for trump today, harry. get up, harry. come on, let's go.t up, let's go, h

geoff: following the national teamsters non-endorsement, local teamsters unions, as you well know, in of michigan, nevada, wisconsin, announced their support for harris. and there are nearly a dozen teamsters locals and the teamsters national black caucus all supporting harris. do you risk looking out of step with the union rank and file? sean: no, i definitely don't look out of step with. because remember we represent democrats, republicans, and independents and clearly half of our membership are democrats and half are republicans and some are independents as well. so we've got to represent everybody equally. the local unions, they're autonomous. we're not a top-down organization. we're a bottom-up organization. our members, or the leaders, have the ability to put boots on the ground and support the candidates that they want to support. the international, we just couldn't make that decision, and we have a very, very qualified general executive board of leaders around the country, and the non-endorsement was overwhelmingly supported. geoff: donald trump is claiming this as a win. here

you're take on this new development from the teamsters david? were a lot at the colosseum. at least there were one used to go to islanders games. listen the problem harris has here is that when you look at the polling from the internal teamsters polling from july when joe biden was still in the raise not only was he beating president trump he was beating him by almost ten points. now harris is losing her by 30 points. i've never seen a shift like that. maybe mark has but i never have. it makes sense. this was scranton joe. he's got dimension routes the labor movement he was dealing with teamsters when jimmy hoffa was a president not a joke. and he was. but if these polling results from teamsters are reflected with united autoworkers and hospitality unions, kamala harris has a big problem. i don't know how she fixes that in 47 days. >> martha: interesting. you just reminded me of president biden we haven't seen him say anything lately. and your impression remind me it's kind of striking. market you're take on what's going on here? what does it sa

>> i'll ask the teamsters president sean o'brien, who is my guest this hour? i'm dana bash reporting today from los angeles. let's go behind the headlines and inside politics 47 days, less than seven weeks, 1,100 hundred and 16 hours. this race could not possibly be any closer let's start with pennsylvania. there had been four new polls of the keystone state released in the past 24 hours. and when you average them all together and a cnn poll of polls, kamala harris holds a slim lead, but effectively, it's ty it's a similar situation in wisconsin. harris holds a one-point lead in to new clear that both campaigns now have multiple paths to 270. >> and it's clear that this race is anyone's to take as early voting begins, 67 million people watched the debate last week. most say it was a resounding win for harris. and yet the numbers and the battleground states that will decide the election have barely budged i'm joined now by two fantastic reporters and friends. puck news is peter hamby and the washington post may rest also to former cnn colleagues and campaign tr

yeah, the teamsters understand more a.o.c.s jobs for our teamsters union and less jobs for our workers and less jobs for the american people. less productivity. that's why you are seeing so many union members won't say anything but they are actually going to come out and support republicans and they are going to support president trump in upstate new york. i work with unions every day in my job in upstate new york, police, fire, the linemen, we always forget about the heroic efforts of the linemen out there every day making sure that we have energy, our hospitals are running, our schools are running, our businesses, all these things they do, they are brave people that are in unions. she doesn't get it. she is just all about politics and against the democracy, actually. >> carley: congresswoman, i'm glad you brought up the rally in new york, it was huge. there were people even outside the venue space watching him speak on big screen tvs, and his message to try to encourage people to vote with him is with the crime, with the imm

were also waiting from the teamsters -- >> neil: any hint where the teamsters are leading right now?s on monday, so any announcement that would come right after that meeting would be indicative that the fault like they didn't -- were able to gain something in the last 48 hours that maybe they didn't have before. you know, trump met with them in february, he invited the teamsters union to the rnc and there were still not done deal yet and it's also possible, neil, maybe we won't see an official at all. will have to wait and see. >> neil: we'll be talking to shawn o'brien head of the scheme starts tomorrow by then we'll have that all sorted out. great seeing you and the tire as well, the magnitude of today's story not lost on me given that. -- from the hill and obviously we've got some new polls that show things are still tight but right now as far as moving the needle one way or the other, there's very little that we can go on post this assassination attempt, the second on donald trump. but what are we learning? >> yes alright now we know that the vice president is a game within the m

i have a lot of teamsters work for me. all these holdings you see in york city, exclusively teamsters. the vote of the teamsters themselves was a very high for me and the readership, sean o'brien and the group are all great people and said we cannot endorse the democrats so i think this is the first time in many day -- many decades they have not endorsed democrats. >> will it make a difference? >> i think it will. teamsters carry a lot of weight. democrats cannot believe. it was always automatic democrats get the teamsters and said they will not endorse democrats this year. >> there's a lot of concern about your vulnerability. have you talked with the secret service? >> we will do what the secret service once. you don't want to be curtailed. crazy people out there. bad people, crazy people. we will let the secret service determined that. like coming to a place like this. got to be safe. we are going to nassau coliseum. it has been packed. over 60,000 people, 50 or 60,000 people so i look forward to that. it has always got

the teamsters union has gone reliably democrat for decades. now what their president is saying all of it means as the media, some of them, are completely ignoring the story. i don't know how you can. it is 1.3 million members, voters who now majority are going for trump. they didn't endorse trump. they just said we won't endorse anybody. the labor teamsters union. the vice president's word salad bar appears bottomless. serve yourself, we have plenty. kamala harris serving up a bunch more in her interview with oprah last night. >> in terms of both rightly having the right to have aspirations and dreams, and ambitions, we believe in what can be. and we believe in fighting for that. that's how we came into being. >> harris: the pressure is on. will we ever get substantive answers that make sense from the vice president as the clock ticks down to election day, 46 days today? just a few seconds away from lisa boothe, fox news political analyst, in "focus" next. more laughs. more hang outs. more “mmmmm, so good!” yeah, give us more of all of that li

i have had a lot of teamsters work for me, a lot of teamsters work for me, a lot of teamsters work forall these building you see in new york city. drexel heard, is a democratic political strategist and former executive director of the los angeles democratic party. here's how he responded when we asked him if teamsters refusing to back democrats would have a big impact they polled less than 20% of their members out of 1.3 million and so that is a small sample size of the union members that will be voting for kamala harris and tim walz in november. so donald trump, this race will be very close, there will be a handful of members from different unions and state and different voters who will obviously vote for donald trump at the vast majority of working—class families and union members are team kamala harris and tim walz and we will see that in november. the us presidential election is nearing, with polls showing a race that overall is too close to call. any leads the candidates may appear to have are still within the margin of error. so to try and win over undecided and marginal voters b

picking over the teamsters endorsement, one of the things that they're looking at is the teamsters had gone up to their members and their members were overwhelmingly supportive of donald trump. >> and i think it's interesting the way that republicans have been making an active patch toward the working class, i think that if there's one real coherent through line to what republicans are doing now it is how they becomes sort of a multi-racial working class party. and so they've been much more friendly to unions than what in the 2000s. and so i think it's a big coup for them i'm not to be actively not to actively endorse the democrats. >> it's interesting though, if you look at the list of things legislative accomplishments that the teamsters want, generally speaking, kamala harris checks all those boxes, minimum wage increase, all that but there are two other things going on. one is obviously social issues and where a lot of these teamsters come from on a cultural basis. and also the feeling that a lot of teamsters have that the economy was better under trump before covid and, you know,

: the teamsters have a long tradition of backing the democratic nominee. the harris campaign responding to their decision, saying, quote, while donald trump says striking workers should be fired. vice president harris has literally walked the pickett line. the campaign also pointed out that they have the backing of many local labor groups saying just yesterday they were endorsed by teamsters in michigan, nevada and wisconsin. garrett haake asked former president trump for his reaction. >> mr. president, any reaction to the teamsters' decision not to endorse? >> no, it's a great honor. they're not going to endorse the democrats, that's a big thing. >> big difference in the industrial states you think? >> i think it will. the teamsters carry a lot of weight. >> reporter: the union released an internal poll, showing 58% of its members support mr. trump. but, in a statement, they say they were left with few commitments from the candidates on top issues and found no definitive support among members for either nominee. today the former president will be here in

teamsters carry a lot of weight. >> reporter: the harris campaign saying, quote, teamsters locals across the country have already endorsed her, alongside the overwhelming majority of organized labor. it comes as we're seeing signs of new, sighter security measures for trump. the fbi directi sayin saying h devoting the full agency to investigate the plots on trump. >> today i got a very nice call from kamala. it was very nice. >> reporter: meanwhile, she blafrted trump's call of mass deportations of undocumented migrants. >> donald trump and his extremist allies will keep trying to pull us backwards. they have pledged to carry out the largest deportation, a mass deportation in american history. imagine what that would look like and what that would be. how's that going to happen? massive raids? massive detention camps? what are they talking about? >> and our thanks to garrett for that report. >>> residents in north carolina are now working to clean up the massive mess left by monday's historic storm. governor roy cooper visited hard-hit areas wednesday and added four additional counties to

teamsters rank and file, they polled higher for donald trump.the race, the straw poll they conducted, biden was ahead. the question specifically asked, who should the teamsters union endorse? >> sandra: yep. >> john: it tame back with two-thirds of rank and file members saying trump. and they said they will not endorse anybody. >> they did electronic polling, and polling over the phone. the rank and file after biden dropped out of the race, states they want the union, meaning the leadership to endorse the former president for president in 2024. and you can't tell me that they wouldn't have endorsed joe biden even though his margin was much smaller compared to harris. or if kamala harris was ahead in the poll without a majority. they would have endorsed her. for the leadership in washington, d.c., just down the street, teamsters leadership is afraid of democrats in washington d.c. they are afraid of aoc that was fuming about the nonendorsement of kamala harris. saying they have done so much for the union. they should rethink this. but they are ou

sean o'brien, president of the teamsters, thanks so much.e'll be looking forward to hearing who your union eventually endorses. thanks for being here. >>> we'll be right back. - pick up. joe, pick up the phone.
