A new analysis from FiveThirtyEight found that as vulnerable Senate Democrats are gearing up for the race of their lives, they’re doing everything they can to hide their record of rubber-stamping Joe Biden’s agenda in the Senate.
Despite voting overwhelmingly with Joe Biden last Congress, FiveThirtyEight found that imperiled senators like Joe Manchin, Jon Tester, Jacky Rosen, Sherrod Brown, and Bob Casey are now trying to hide their liberal records by voting no on “less consequential” issues designed to “give vulnerable senators political cover.”
“Senate Democrats happily lined up behind Joe Biden’s incredibly unpopular agenda as he opened America’s southern border and wreaked havoc on our economy. Now they can see the writing on the wall but throwing inconsequential votes won’t be enough to cover up their records of rubber-stamping Democrats’ agenda.” – NRSC Spokesman Philip Letsou
