The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the powerful American truck drivers’ union, announced Wednesday that it was dropping its official support for one of the candidates for the White House, breaking with a quarter-century of support for the Democrats.

Indeed, the Democratic Party has been able to count on the loyal support of the Teamsters since 2000 and this is the first time since 1996 that the union has chosen not to support any candidate.

Representatives of the union organization, which has 1.3 million members, met with Ms. Harris on Monday.

The Teamsters have supported Democratic candidates in every election since Al Gore: John Kerry, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. Before that, they supported Ronald Reagan in 1984 and George H. W. Bush in 1988, then Bill Clinton in 1992.

Two polls released Wednesday by the union show that its base is in favor of supporting Donald Trump.
