International Association of Fire Fighters vote by a margin of 1.2% to not back either White House candidate

The International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) has declined to endorse a candidate ahead of next month’s US presidential election, despite efforts by both the Kamala Harris and Donald Trump campaigns to court the union.

“This decision, which we took very seriously, is the best way to preserve and strengthen our unity,” the IAFF said in a statement.
