More bad news for Biden: Blue collar workers he’s desperate to attract are donating far more to Trump, with Dem instead attracting highly-paid tech workers and bankers as he struggles to shake out-of-touch image

President Joe Biden has struggled to attract donations from workers, a blow to the Democrat who once declared himself the “most union president in American history.”

Of the 15 companies most frequently mentioned in campaign finance data, UPS workers with a strong union were the most likely to donate to Donald Trump in the second half of last year, according to figures Bloomberg News.

Employees at Google and Microsoft were most likely to donate to Biden, with 90 percent of presidential donations from Google employees going to the Democrat, according to the analysis of public campaign finance data.

The divide reflects not just the candidates, but also their parties, and an ongoing shift among workers in heavily unionized industries away from Democrats and toward Republicans.

But it underlines a particular challenge for Biden, who has heavily touted his support for unions as he tries to win over key voters in union-heavy swing states such as Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

Last month, Biden received support from the United Auto Workers union after appearing on their picket lines during a strike against the Big Three automakers in Detroit last year.

It’s possible the support will pay off, as Bloomberg data shows that donations from General Motors and Ford employees were almost evenly split in the last six months of 2023.

But other heavily unionized companies, including American Airlines, showed more employee donations to Trump.

Trump was also favored among employees of Delta, Walmart and FedEx, which have large workforces.

Companies with more employees who donated to Biden included IBM, Kaiser Permanente, Wells Fargo, Amazon and AT&T.

The Bloomberg analysis shows that the professions most likely to donate to Trump are farmers, truck drivers, entrepreneurs, mechanics and construction workers.

Those most likely to donate to Biden are professors, psychologists, social workers, scientists and writers.

Still, both Trump and Biden relied heavily on billionaires and others who can write big checks, the report said.

For Biden, two-thirds of fundraising for the second half of 2023 came from wealthy donors, including billionaires Haim Saban and George Soros.

For Trump, 46 percent came from megadonors, including construction billionaire Diane Hendricks, oil magnate Timothy Dunn and Home Depot co-founder Bernard Marcus.

It emerged Thursday that the political action committee of the powerful International Brotherhood of Teamsters gave the Republican National Committee the maximum donation of $45,000 last month.

According to the newspaper, it was the Teamsters’ first major donation to a Republican cause in years WashingtonPost.

The Teamsters also sent $135,000 to the Democratic National Committee last December, plus a $15,000 donation in March.

“The Teamsters contributed $45,000 to both Democratic and Republican congressional funds. It has not been since 2000 that our union has participated in both conventions,” a Teamsters spokesperson said Fox News digital.

“In the Teamsters, all of our members’ voices will be heard, regardless of party.”

Trump has courted the Teamsters for endorsements, and last month met with the union’s boss, Sean O’Brien.

O’Brien later described the conversation with Trump as “pleasant” and “direct,” but said the union was far from making a decision. He said there are additional questions for Trump and for Biden, who has not yet organized a similar meeting.

“There’s no doubt about it,” he said, “there is union support for President Trump. And there is always union support for President Biden.”

But even as he praised Biden’s record, he added: “What you have done in the past does not guarantee your future with us. We want to know what you will do for our members in the future.’

The Teamsters have supported every Democratic presidential candidate since Al Gore in 2000.
