Sean O’Brien, President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, will reportedly speak at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee.
A Teamsters representative confirmed that O’Brien will speak at the RNC convention.
The action calls into question President Biden’s long-standing connection with organized labor and threatens to undermine his claim to be the most pro-union president in history.
“When I am back in the White House, the hardworking Teamsters, and all working Americans, will once again have a country they can afford to live in and be respected around the world,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“This is truly unprecedented since it will be the very first time a Teamsters General President has addressed the RNC,” he continued.
Biden went to the picket line during the United Auto Workers (UAW) union strike against Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis last October, a first for a sitting president.
The union endorsed Biden in January, and UAW President Shawn Fain targeted Trump in his remarks.
The Teamsters have yet to endorse a presidential candidate, while the powerful labor organization supported Biden in 2020.
