## Resource

The New Hampshire Senate race is heating up as the Teamsters union fractures — locals back Democrat Chris Pappas, but national president Sean O’Brien personally donated to GOP challenger Scott Brown, a former Massachusetts senator with whom he has a history. This move signals a broader trend: some union leaders are reaching across the aisle, even as rank-and-file members lean toward Trump. Similar divisions are emerging in Pennsylvania and Texas, where local chapters have backed Republicans despite national PAC support for Democrats. O’Brien, a fourth-generation Teamster elected in 2022, argues that the GOP can still appeal to working-class voters — citing that most Teamsters voted for Trump — while pushing policies that actually help workers. His strategy? A calculated balancing act, leveraging campaign money and personal ties to shape outcomes in a rapidly shifting political landscape.
