MINNEAPOLIS — Many union voters are disenchanted with both President Donald Trump and Democrats, fed up with the surging costs of food and gas, the war with Iran and slick career politicians.
The Washington Post interviewed 27 rank-and-file union workers at the national convention of the AFL-CIO in Minneapolis this week, and nearly all said they disapproved of Trump — including the 10 current or recent Republicans and independents. Most also criticized the Democratic Party, saying its leaders should fight harder on economic issues for the working class.
