- The Teamsters donated $62,000 to 22 House Republicans, including Deb Fischer, Lisa Murkowski, Jon Husted, and Dave McCormick, signaling a shift in support, NRCC spokesperson Mike Marinella said.
- Projections indicate the union's donations could outlast President Trump unless Democrats adopt union-friendly policies, Kara Deniz said, despite the PAC still giving more to Democrats and signaling a shift in support.
