This is older news, but it has stayed on my mind - What do you make of the Teamsters refusal to endorse? And does this signal deeper problems with working class voters for Kamala than anyone wants to admit?

Teamsters internal polling had Biden leading trump 44-36 as late as July...Then they had Trump at almost 60% over Kamala being as low as 31%. Biden has been super pro union, and theres no reason to think Kamala would be any different. Trump has an extensive anti worker record, including gutting federal employee unions. Am I wrong to just cynically chalk this up to sexism? I often look back on 2016 and wonder, within the working class, if there was really a 'hidden Trump vote', or if it was actually a 'hidden sexist vote' that could not fathom a woman as president.
Great question that I hope Chris addresses about the role of the Teamsters lack of endorsement. Made it to the Boston Globe where they asked if the Teamsters had really lost their political capital when they failed to endorse any political candidate and their "rival" the AFL-CIO did.
