The voting bloc Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are in a major tug of war for are white, middle class voters in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. The data seems to indicate that whoever can convince the remaining undecided and independent voters from this cohort will almost certainly win the Presidential election when the dust settles in November.

The only problem for Kamala Harris is that she’s in the worst position with voters in this region than any Democrat in the past twenty years. So much so, that even her closest allies and advisors are admitting that she’s giving Donald Trump a fairly clear path to the White House due to her failures to connect with average Americans.

As we’ve noted, in a recent Teamsters internal survey, it was found that around 60% of Teamsters union members indicated they favor Donald Trump over Kamala Harris as the next President of the United States. Other findings from the report include the fact that Kamala Harris is nowhere near as popular as Joe Biden was with the working class, as Joe Biden actually held a near double digit lead over Donald Trump with Teamsters union members before he dropped out. Meaning, Kamala Harris being the nominee has completely flipped the script to the tune of around twenty five points. Yeah, that’s a lot.

“All of the nation’s working men and women know that President Trump is the candidate looking out for them, which is why nearly 6 out of every 10 Teamsters support his candidacy,” a senior Trump campaign official, Brian Hughes, shared with reporters when the survey went public.

“He has an economic plan that will allow workers to keep more of the money they earn, increase American manufacturing, and drive down energy costs. Under dealmaker President Trump, American farmers, manufacturers, and auto workers got the best trade deals in history, and he will once again put America First when we send him back to the White House,” Mr. Hughes added with reporters.

One Democrat strategist and Kamala Harris campaign ally out of Maryland, Len Foxwell, has shared with reporters that he believes this massive support Donald Trump is enjoying with working class, blue-collar workers is what’s propelling him to get so close to a second term in the White House in the most unprecedented way.

“There has always been a great deal of synergy between Trump and this demographic constituency,” Len Foxwell recently shared with media outlets on the topic of working class voting bloc support. “He has certainly made a conscious effort to target that voter base, and now, this traditionally Democratic constituency is at least keeping an open door to Donald Trump,” Mr. Foxwell added.

The key here is that Kamala Harris is extremely far behind where Joe Biden was with support from working class Americans, particularly in the Rust Belt region which is likely to decide who wins the Presidential election. You see this reflected in the fact that Donald Trump has a small lead in the polls in the state of Pennsylvania, something he has never enjoyed until now in 2024. That’s a bad sign for the Democrats.

This is a particular disaster for Kamala Harris considering Donald Trump has outperformed expectations when Election Day arrives. So if history informs us of anything, it’s that being in a tie with Donald Trump likely means you’re down a point or two, or even three. This is the opposite of what Democrats were expecting by dumping Joe Biden.

The Democrats were hoping Kamala Harris would be the easy free ride to a Democrat term in the Oval Office, but that’s not the case. She has her own difficulties that are extremely unique to Joe Biden’s. While it’s probably the case that Joe Biden (who has fallen from grace in the eyes of most Americans) likely wasn’t going to win an election against Donald Trump, it seems Kamala Harris is not in a discernibly better position.

That’s not hard to see given the polling, but it also makes sense that a far-Left Democrat prosecutor from California was always going to have trouble connecting with hard-working blue-collar Americans from Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. You could make the argument that Joe Biden might have performed better with these three states than Kamala Harris will. Time will tell on that front.

Certainly, it helps Donald Trump and his case when the Teamsters makes it a huge, public ordeal that they are not going to be endorsing Kamala Harris when they had endorsed the ticket from 2020 when Joe Biden was at the helm. That only gives union workers more of a hesitation on throwing support behind Kamala.

“Unfortunately, neither major candidate was able to make serious commitments to our union to ensure the interests of working people are always put before Big Business. We sought commitments from both Trump and Harris not to interfere in critical union campaigns or core Teamsters industries — and to honor our members’ right to strike — but were unable to secure those pledges,” the head of the Teamsters announced in September.

Make no mistake, while the Teamsters say they aren’t endorsing Donald Trump, they effectively did. They just don’t want to be put on record that they endorsed the first Republican Presidential candidate in decades. Not only that, but head of the Teamsters, Sean O’Brien, made a well-received appearance at the Republican National Convention at Donald Trump’s personal request. He was never invited to the Democrat convention.

“By not endorsing Kamala Harris, they’ve given the green light to go vote for Donald Trump,” an internal Trump campaign pollster has shared with the press after the news of the Teamsters abstaining from an endorsement.

We will know more in just a month from now, but it’s entirely possible that Kamala Harris is in a worse position in terms of trying to win this election than Joe Biden was considering he at least had a pulse with the working class voting bloc in the Rust Belt.
