During an interview on Fox News with host Neil Cavuto, Teamsters International President Sean O’Brien called on Pelosi and New York Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer to step aside after Republicans won back the White House and Senate and kept control of the House.
“I think that they lost — they lost touch with the working class people. It was clearly evident in the election results. And look, this was an economic election. I mean, we still have a lot of our members, we still have a lot of working class Americans that are hurt, and they felt the struggle at the pump, they felt the struggle at the grocery store. And instead of embracing and trying to find a solution to the problem, the Democrats took a position that their opinion mattered. And that’s all that mattered. And they wanted to talk down to a lot of working class people. You know, social issues are important. But at the end of the day, it’s putting food on the table, being able to afford a home. And despite, you know, the rhetoric of this is the best economy ever, you know, it really hasn’t been. So that’s what I believe came down to as an economic decision on this election,” O’Brien said.
