| Kamala Harris snubbed by another major labor union ‐ that was first to back Biden in 2020: ‘It's a big shift' |

| [NY Post] In another blow to Vice President Kamala Harris, the International Association of Fire Fighters announced Thursday that it would not be making a 2024 presidential endorsement. The union, which represents more than 300,000 career firefighters and emergency responders, was the first to endorse President Biden’s 2020 White House bid and has a long history of backing Democratic presidential candidates. IAFF’s decision not to endorse a candidate in the 2024 race comes two weeks after the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which has also long backed Democrats, defied the will of its pro-Trump membership and declined to make a presidential endorsement. "Today, the IAFF Executive Board, by a margin of 1.2%, voted to not endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential election," read a statement from IAFF General President Edward Kelly. "Over the past year, the IAFF took unprecedented steps to hear our members’ views on the candidates and the policy issues that matter most to them. |
