The Philadelphia chapter of the International Association of Firefighters broke with the IAFF on Tuesday to back President Trump for reelection over his Democratic rival Joseph R. Biden.
Michael Bresnan, president of the Philadelphia Firefighters and Paramedics Union, Local 22 of the IAFF, said the national groups endorsement of Mr. Biden was done without canvassing local chapters and rank-and-file members.
Mr. Bresnan said Local 22 members were surveyed and overwhelmingly chose Mr. Trump.

-—This is a HUGE get for Trump. A key union endorsement in a battleground state in one of America’s bluest cities.-—
Doesn’t Philly usually have a 110% voter turnout?
From no endorsement in 2016 to endorsing Trump in 2020. Good news.
**** Pennsy Ping ****
Big Harold announced hes not running for national union president too.
They see the writing on the wall as theyve never canvassed union members, they just always endorse dems and give them money even though rank and file dont agree.
C’mon man!
What a NOVEL idea! But so unDEMOCRATic.
If it’s happening there, it is happening elsewhere.
And it’s the shy Tory effect.
I’ll bet a LOT of union members are not speaking out but are voting for him anyways.
I know IBEW does.
Slow Joe says...”this is mallarkey”

Excellent news! Maybe they’ll help to police the ballot fraud in Philly.
Just like socialists everywhere - Socialists claim to represent blue-collar workers, but ultimately abandon them in he name of preserving their power, protecting their cronies, and pushing their absurd ideology.
Very Happy.:)
Yup.
Joe Biden will be crushed if he remembers firefighters from his home state have always been on his side. He first needs to remember what a firefighter and his home state, the latter always being dubious anyways.
That shitbird hasn’t lived in PA since 1953.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
PA State FOP voted to endorse Trump.
National FOP Grand Lodge endorsement was unanimous (ALL State Lodges voted endorsement)
C'mon man. This ain't HUGE, THIS IS YUGE.
When a public union in Philly, endorses Trump, you know that under the covers, the city's blacks are clearly turning.
I will not predict that Trump wins in Philly, but if he just gets to 60-40, 65-35, even 70-30, it will be a PA landslide for Trump.
May the God of Abraham, convince the Jews, Blacks and teachers of Philly to follow their Union Brethren into sanity.
