In an interview, Moore said #Trump's plans to place #tariffs on products being shipped into the #UnitedStates would spur thousands of dollars in extra costs for people. [TYVM!]

"That's #MiddleClass Americans," Moore said.
On Wednesday, Trump's campaign touted the fact that the national #union had declined to #endorse in the race, labeling it a "crushing blow" to #KamalaHarris after the #Teamsters had endorsed Democratic presidential candidates since 1996.

Moore said he talks to his #Michigan members regularly & there's "no room for Donald #Trump in the #Teamster world in the state of Michigan."

In announcing its endorsement, Michigan Teamsters Joint Council No. 43, the statewide #union, referenced #KamalaHarris' support for the labor movement, for expanding #HealthCare #access & for protecting #workers' #retirements.

The #Teamsters represent freight truck drivers, warehouse workers & individuals in a variety of other occupations.

Both #KamalaHarris & #Trump have been competing for the votes of #union workers, as the #economy remains one of the top issues in the presidential race.

However, also on Wed, the #Michigan Teamsters, which has about 245k members in a battleground state, released its #endorsement of #Harris.

With ~1.3M members, the International Brotherhood of #Teamsters announced Wed that the national org wouldn't officially back #Harris or #Trump. The national #union cited "independent electronic & phone polling" that found a majority of voting members selected Trump for a possible Teamsters endorsement.

"The path to him getting to the White House is going to start in #Michigan," Moore said. "We're going to make sure that's not an obtainable goal for him."
