He was the first acting teamster president to ever speak at the RNC, that’s a huge deal regardless of whether he was also expecting to speak at the DNC. Especially given how anti-union the republican party generally is.

Either it was an appeal to conservative teamsters, or he himself is quietly moderate or conservative.
