The International Brotherhood of Teamsters could issue its long-awaited presidential endorsement as soon as Wednesday, union spokesperson Kara Deniz confirmed to CNBC Monday following a meeting members held with Vice President Kamala Harris in Washington. We represent registered Republicans and independents," Teamsters president Sean O'Brien said in a press conference after the meeting. On Monday, Harris made her pitch for the union's endorsement in the meeting with rank-and-file Teamsters, along with O'Brien and other members of the union's executive leadership. The meeting came as both Harris and her opponent, Republican former President Donald Trump, court working-class voters. But the Teamsters president also condemned Trump's comments later in the summer, where the Republican applauded the idea of firing workers who threaten to strike.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that the provision in the American Rescue Plan would cost $86 billion, according to the House Committee on Education and Labor. The pension relief comes as Republicans potentially eye cuts to Social Security, another major social safety net for the elderly and retirees.
