Teamsters President Sean O’Brien has called on Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to “step aside” following Vice President Kamala Harris’ defeat in the presidential election. O’Brien, who stood by the Teamsters’ decision to make no endorsement in the election, criticized the focus on social issues over economic issues during what he describes as an “Economic election.” In an interview with “Your World” host Neil Cavuto, O’Brien urged the Democratic Party to refocus and reclaim the support of working-class Americans.
O’Brien did not speak at the Democratic National Convention in August, but he did address the Republican National Convention in July. He explained that the Teamsters, which includes both Democratic and Republican members, wanted elected officials to prioritize the needs of working Americans. O’Brien called for “results, not excuses” and said that both Democrats and Republicans have a “great opportunity” to address the issues facing the country.
During the interview, O’Brien also took aim at Pelosi and Schumer, saying they may need to step down as leaders of the Democratic Party. He suggested that they take a page out of Joe Biden’s book and retire, in order to make room for new leaders who can better represent the party. O’Brien emphasized the importance of focusing on economic issues, such as providing opportunities for families, rather than solely on social issues.
As a union leader, O’Brien believes that the priorities of the working class should be the top concern for politicians. He expressed disappointment with the current state of the Democratic Party and urged them to take a hard look at where they have gone wrong in connecting with American voters.
In the end, O’Brien’s message is clear: it’s time for a change in the Democratic Party. The Teamsters’ decision to not endorse either candidate in the election serves as a reminder that Democrats have lost touch with the working class. With four more years ahead, there is plenty of time for the party to re-evaluate and make changes in order to regain the trust and support of the American people.

I don’t know what type of person Mr. O’Brien is. I do see him as a person I could have a beer with. If a good guy, maybe two. I see NO ONE in the “Biden administration” that I would want to associate with. I think they are all unlikable and not in touch with me.
