| One of the Biggest Unions in the Country Just Made a $45,000 Donation to the RNC |

| [RedState] Labor unions are notoriously left-leaning in both leadership and in political action. While many blue-collar workers who are a part of the biggest unions in the country are split between Republicans and Democrats, the unions as a whole are very much pro-Democrat. That makes this story from the Washington Post very interesting. The Teamsters, one of the most well-known unions in the country, made a pretty sizable donation to the Republican National Committee - and it's bigger than the one they just gave the Democratic National Committee. The Teamsters’ political committee has given $45,000 to the Republican National Committee, according to federal records, a significant departure for a powerful organized labor group that has more recently supported Democrats, such as President Biden, who have championed workers’ rights.Cheap Immigrant Labor?

| #5 They like that Candidate Trump is showing them respect. Let’s see if this is a one-off or the first demonstration of a change of heart. |

| #1 Cheap Immigrant Labor (due to Dem policies)? Yup, that'll trigger the Teamsters a bit. |
