Firefighters Union Snubs Kamala Harris with Non-Endorsement after JD Vance Speech at Convention
2024-10-05
[BREITBART] The International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) has snubbed the Harris-Walz ticket with a non-endorsement — news which comes after Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) spoke at their event in August.

IAFF President Edward Kelly made the announcement on Thursday following an executive board meeting, where the determination was made.

''Today, the IAFF Executive Board, by a margin of 1.2 percent, voted to not endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential election,'' he announced, noting that IAFF took ''unprecedented steps to hear out members' views on the candidates and the policy issues that matter most to them'' over the last year.

''As we have over our 106-year history, the IAFF will continue its work to improve the lives of firefighters and their families,'' Kelly continued, contending that the Executive Board determined that ''we are better able to advocate for our members and make progress on the issues that matter to them if we, as a union, are standing shoulder-to-shoulder.''

''This decision, which we took very seriously, is the best way to preserve and strengthen our unity,'' he continued, encouraging members to get out and ''make their voices heard in the upcoming election.''

#4  At every turn Biden is trying to ensure a Trump win in November.

Everything he does and every time he opens his mouth, he undermines her campaign.

Biden is furious that he was tossed aside by the Democrats. His first payback was naming Harris as his successor. It was supposed to be Hillary.

His comments last week tying her to his policies was another act of sabotage.

Biden has Irish Alzheimer's. He forgets everything but his grudges.

#3  No endorsement, but they invite Vance to address their membership. No Union pressure to vote Dems because union members are sick of it and are willing to vote their own union hierarchy out over the BS.
