Kamala has looked everywhere for the union label, but she just can’t seem to find one.
The latest setback for their campaign is that the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) has followed in the footsteps of the (*40*) union and declined to endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential race. This breaks with the IAFF’s decades-long tradition of supporting almost all Democratic presidential candidates.
A post that appeared on the IAFF’s X account on Thursday stated that its board voted against approval after taking “unprecedented steps last year to hear the views of our members and the policy issues that matter most to them.” In other words, the union doesn’t like Kamala, but it also doesn’t want the backlash it would get from supporting Trump. So you do nothing.

It sounds a lot like the (*40*)’ decision not to support the decision in September. Echoing the IAFF’s decision, the (*40*) decided not to make a recommendation after considering the views and priorities of its members:
“Our mission as union representatives is clear: to be honest and open, to be inclusive and, above all, to be transparent with our members. As the strongest and most democratic union in America, it was critical for our members to advance this support process. Democrats, Republicans and Independents are proud to call our union home, and we have a duty to represent and respect each and every one of them.”
As the tweet below shows, the IAFF’s decision is not good news at all for Kamala, who is one of only two Democratic presidential candidates since 1984 to have received no support. The other candidate? Hillary Clinton.
That’s…not a good schedule if you’re Kamala Harris.

This will anger many leftists. Many will no doubt see a form of misogyny in the union’s decision not to support the Democratic Party’s two female presidential candidates. Aside from the fact that the left cannot collectively define what a woman or a woman is, the male-dominated unions will certainly be upset for daring not to support women.
Others will see it as a betrayal because Democrats have taken this kind of union support for granted for decades. They were the party of the worker (wink, wink) and therefore deserved the support. Democrats have a history of buying union support, so something has gone very, very wrong here.
Things are going in a very bad direction for Kamala. As RedState reported earlier on Thursday, Kamala welcomed the striking longshoremen despite the potentially devastating impact on the U.S. economy and demanded that they receive their “fair share” of the profits of the companies that employ the strikers. In return, she receives little or no support from the demonstrating dock workers.
The bottom line is that despite the best campaign efforts of the corporate media, Kamala Harris is deeply disliked by much of the electorate, even among traditionally Democratic voting blocs like the unions.
