Vice President Harris has accepted an invitation to meet with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, her campaign confirmed Friday evening, as both the Democratic and Republican presidential campaigns jockey for critical working-class votes that could play an outsize role in key battleground states.

Harris to meet with Teamsters, as candidates compete for union voters
O’Brien will not be speaking at the event, the source said.
“We look forward to Vice President Harris joining a roundtable of rank-and-file Teamsters to discuss the issues of importance to workers,” said Kara Deniz, a Teamsters spokesperson.
The Teamsters, with some 1.3 million members, is one of the only major labor organizations that has not yet endorsed in the presidential election, though it typically does not endorse until after both conventions.
The vice president “has received and gladly accepted an invitation” to meet with the union “in a candidate roundtable to discuss her record of fighting for Teamsters and their families and to highlight her vision for the future,” Lauren Hitt, a spokesperson for the Harris campaign, said in a statement.
The campaign “looks forwarding to scheduling the roundtable in the near future,” Hitt added.
