Dems save Teamsters ass with $36B for pensions, they now back GOP
Teamsters Union Betrays Democratic Allyship, Forcing Strategy Session on Winning the White Working Class
Discover why the Teamsters leadership shocked allies by funding Republicans, and learn the specific, confrontational political strategy Congressman Khanna believes Democrats must deploy immediately to regain lost working-class trust.
Short Summary
- The Teamsters union leadership refused to endorse VP Harris and are now donating PAC money to Republicans, despite Democratic aid saving union pensions.
- Representative Ro Khanna contends that Democrats struggle because they have not delivered consistently on populist economic agendas over the last 40 years.
- The primary strategic gap identified is the failure to engage and persuade the white working-class voter, who often votes against their immediate economic self-interest.
- Both speakers agree the party must stop prioritizing conversations only in the suburbs and implement a clear, unified economic freedom agenda.
This discussion dissects the Teamsters' controversial political pivot, highlighted by Sean O’Brien skirting the DNC after speaking at the RNC. Congressman Khanna joins Roland Martin to confront the Democrats' failure to deliver concrete economic wins, even when they possessed unified power, prompting a deep dive into political messaging across racial and class divides.

UAW did us the same way GM workers Obama save GM and a lot of workers supported Trump or the Republican party racism over loyalty
It took multiple times for this man to answer a simple question. He was dancing around that question like Usher. That's the f*cking problem. 💯
I can't forget that Teamsters betrayed the Demos party.
That is right Roland check him ! He should know to come correct when dealing with you. He needs to stop with the spin !
Thank you for not going along with his BS.👍
Dont forget that o'brien is up for reelection next year. He has got to go.
Dang, Uncle RoRo is right on time with his suggestion. Main stream media can't be relied upon to deliver any good democratic news.
Thank you, Roland! IT is b.s. about Dems and working class voters!
There is a lot of grifting, graft and corruption out there. I doubt the Teamsters pension is safe.
Roland thank you so much for articulating this issue so well..
