“Teamsters president Sean O’Brien delivered a fiery address to close out the first night of the Republican National Convention, castigating big businesses and corporate lobby groups for ‘waging a war against American workers’ — and calling for labor law reform,” Axios reports.
“O’Brien’s speech stood out among the partisan lineup because he did not endorse former President Trump, yet the Teamsters leader got the most speaking time of the evening.”
“The speech is the clearest sign of a potential realignment in political loyalties that has Democrats nervous.”
CNN: “The speech was a blaring red alarm for Biden, whose route to a second term is dependent on strong support from union workers in the ‘blue wall’ states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.”
