"SNIP.........
The Teamsters unions political action committee is jumping into the Missouri Senate race, contributing $5,000 to Sen. Josh Hawleys (R-MO) re-election campaign, Axios reports.
In the past, the PAC has given overwhelmingly to Democrats, but Hawley has made a point to align himself with the labor movement, joining picket lines with the Teamsters and the United Auto Workers.

Applegrove:
Pretty nice for Hawley to pump up truckers whose jobs will all soon be automated. They are testing driverless taxis in San Francisco right now and have been since the summer. The trucking industry will not be far behind. Hawley can seem to prop up and industry whose ranks will be devastated soon for shits and giggles. And for an election. Transparent. Like every ceo isn't just waiting for the extra bonus money that will come with not having to pay truck drivers to transport their goods to market. Biden is bringing manufacturing and jobs back. That is what teamsters need. Someone like Pete Buttigieg to make it the law of the land there be 2 humans on a train instead of one like he just did.
