As the Associated Press reports, "It was the perfect place to welcome the endorsement of the firefighters union — a gleaming new firehouse in a blue-collar town just outside of Detroit in the key battleground state of Michigan." On Friday, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris dropped by hoping to pick up the endorsement of the International Association of Fire Fighters.
However, the IAFF has decided not to endorse a candidate in 2024, despite endorsing Joe Biden in 2020.
Kamala Harris held a rally at a firehouse yesterday because she anticipated being endorsed by the IAFF — who then proceeded to not endorse her despite being the first labor union to endorse Biden in 2020. pic.twitter.com/QdZ8hRegZD

You’d think her staff might do a little legwork on things like this. How bad are they? Seriously.

I'm a firefighter and she's the last person I would ever endorse.

This is reminiscent of when the Teamsters decided they wouldn't endorse anyone this year.
Harris is trying to kill the auto industry in Detroit! What did she expect 😳 Kamala really is dumber than I thought

It’s like the firefighters union endorsing an arsonist- everything they’ve incited- BLM, Floyd riots and burning of Minneapolis and St Paul and dozens of other cities- all that came from the Left- mostly peaceful fiery Kenosha.

I have multiple FDNY family members in NYC, All of them are voting for Trump. Their firehouses are voting for Trump. Their firehouses families are voting for Trump.
