WATCH: Longtime Union Democrat Endorses Trump At Republican Convention
New York union leader Bobby Bartels brought down the house at the Republican National Convention when he announced that he will be endorsing former President Donald Trump in November. He went on to predict that many of his fellow union laborers will be doing the same in November, regardless of endorsements from union bosses.
Bartels began by introducing himself as a proud member of Steamfitter’s local union 638. “And like many of my fellow union members, I’ve been a Democrat my whole life. And like so many of my fellow union members, we have come to expect empty promises from Democratic politicians’ mismanagement,” he said.
He went on to list a situation concerning Central Park’s iconic Wallman Ice Rink, which had fallen into disrepair. “Politicians made promise after promise to fix the rink, and yet they did nothing,” Bartels told the crowd. “That’s when Donald Trump stepped up.”

“He wasn’t mayor, he wasn’t running for anything, but he was a guy who cared about people and he knew how to get a job done. He put his money and his reputation on the line and committed to getting it built. He did it using skilled local union labor like the men of Local 638,” the longtime union member continued. “Together, we worked tirelessly on that project, completing it on time and ensuring kids would be skating that fall on that rink.”
Bartels then took aim at President Biden by noting that some jobs require work “outside the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.,” drawing laughs from the crowd. President Biden’s aides have revealed that their boss tends to lose energy and decline throughout the day.
“We have an open border inviting illegal immigrants to take our American jobs and lower our wages. Out of control inflation is squeezing budgets and both violent crime are pushing people out of our cities or will Democrats do nothing,” Bartels went on to say.
“That’s why this Union Democrat will be voting Trump this November. So that we can take back the middle class, take back the country, and rebuild the middle class that my union has helped build over so many years,” he continued, causing the crowd to erupt with applause and cheers.
