Unions have largely supported Democrat causes and politicians in recent years, but former President Donald Trump is chiseling away at the predictable monolith.
A recent Fox News clip posted by X account Trump War Room shows 70% of Steamfitters voted to support the former president.

“I can tell you on my end, the Steamfitters have voted in the poll, we have a 70% return in favor of President Trump,” said Steamfitters Local 638 union member Bob Bartels.
“Everything that’s gone on the last four years, an open border, inflation, gas prices, oil, mortgage rates, I mean I can go on and on. The immigrants just getting into neighborhoods like the neighborhood I grew up in. I have a daughter down there, she’s afraid to walk around.”
“These are what people have worked hard their whole life to buy a house, in a nice neighborhood, and now it’s destroyed by illegal immigrants,” he added.
X users marveled at the about-face of union workers:
Wow! That’s incredible! It matches almost with Elon’s X poll where 73% wanted Trump.
