Story highlights Trump is looking to attract union members, who have traditionally voted Democratic.
CNN —Former President Donald Trump Wednesday met with Teamsters union leaders and members in Washington as his campaign tries to drive a wedge between President Joe Biden and one of his most loyal constituencies: organized labor.
The Teamsters have twice endorsed against Trump, backing Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Biden four years later.
“We’re not ceding any territory, any group, any demographic to Joe Biden,” one senior Trump adviser said of the campaign’s outreach to working class voters.
The group said Biden had been invited to its headquarters on the same day as Trump.
