O’Brien was elected general president of the Teamsters in 2022.

Throughout the 2024 election cycle, O’Brien’s Teamsters have made a series of moves that have provoked upset and confusion among its traditionally Democrat-leaning ranks.

The Teamsters met with five candidates for president in December—none major contenders—before donating $45,000 to both the DNC and RNC in December 2023 and January of this year, respectively.

Later that month, the Teamsters executive board held a roundtable with Trump in D.C., which sparked a cascade of backlash.

The Teamsters reportedly invited Biden to a similar meeting to take place the same day, but that meeting didn’t take place until mid-March. »
