Largest US labour union declines to endorse either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump .

International Brotherhood of Teamsters has 1.3 million members across the US and Canada .

Polls of rank-and-file members found 'no definitive support' for either candidate.

Move is a major blow to the Harris campaign's efforts to win over working-class voters.

Teamsters voted 59.6% for the union to endorse Trump compared to 34% for Harris .

A separate poll, commissioned in the past week , found Teamsters again backing Trump by a lopsided margin.

The union said in a statement that its "extensive member polling showed no majority support for Vice President Harris and no universal support for President Trump ".
