WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden will visit the Teamsters’ headquarters on March 12 as the influential labor union weighs its presidential endorsement.

Biden will also participate in a roundtable with rank-and-file members and meet with the union's leadership here, the union announced Tuesday. The Teamsters boast 1.3 million members.

"We realize that President Biden’s time is limited and we appreciate that he is making it a priority to meet with Teamsters," General President Sean O'Brien said in a news release. "Our rank-and-file members and leadership are eager to have this conversation about the future of our country and the commitments that working people need from our next President."

A Biden campaign spokesperson confirmed the meeting to NBC News.

They have already given money to Trump.
They cast their lot. Screw them.
Trump will show no loyalty and bust their union to pieces.
