Kamala has been searching everywhere for a union label but just can’t find one.
The International Association of Fire Fighters has endorsed a candidate for the presidential election of 2024, but this is the latest blow that she has suffered. The IAFF has endorsed nearly all Democratic presidential candidates for decades.
In a post posted on Thursday, the IAFF’s X Twitter account stated that the executive board voted to not endorse after “taking unprecedented measures to hear our members’ opinions and the policy matters that are most important to them” in the last year. The union does not like Kamala but doesn’t want to get the backlash they would receive if it endorsed Trump. They do nothing.
The full statement is:

This sounds a lot like the Teamster’s decision not to endorse in September. The Teamsters, echoing the IAFF’s decision, chose not to endorse after considering the views and preferences of their members.
“Our mission, as union representatives, is clear: To be upfront and honest, inclusive, and above all to be transparent to our members. Our members were crucial in this process of endorsement, as the most democratic and strongest labor union in America. Democrats, Republicans, and Independents all proudly call our Union home. We have a responsibility to represent and respect each of them.”
The tweet below shows that the IAFF decision is bad news for Kamala. She is only one of two Democrat candidates to run for president since 1984 who has not received the endorsement. What is the other candidate? Hillary Clinton.
This is … not a good timeline if you are Kamala Harris.

This will ruffle many leftist feathers. The union’s refusal to endorse the two female candidates for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination will be viewed by many as misogynistic. The male-dominated unions, which are largely dominated by the left, will be criticized for not endorsing the two female presidential candidates of the Democrat Party.
Other people will view it as a betrayal because Democrats have taken these union endorsements for granted for decades. The endorsements were deserved because they were the party for the working man. Democrats have been buying union endorsements since time immemorial. So, something is very, very wrong.
The bottom line is that Kamala Harris has a low approval rating among a large number of voters, including traditionally Democrat voting groups like unions. This is despite all the electioneering efforts by corporate media.
