Warren supported, not endorsed, the only Dem running against Mitch until another candidate entered the race.

My assumption is that Warren said, ooh, a woman. And then after these past weeks’ events, she said, oooh, a black man.

In the end, Kentucky Democrats will choose.

the other day, regarding Jim Clybourn of SC endorsing Eliot Engel in a House race, somebody replied that nobody in the Bronx probably cares what Jim Clyburn thinks.

I dare say, nobody in Kentucky may care much about what Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts thinks either.

My point being, these endorsements are not really something to get ourselves in a pissing contest about. Most local voters don’t know that it happened and most don’t care. Indeed, too much attention to local races from other parts of the country sometimes backfires.

And yes, I realize this is about unseating the Republican Senate Majority leader. But it’s the people of Kentucky who are going to decide.

She gave a nice shout out to McGrath in 2019 and endorsed Booker in 2020. Much ado about nothing....

and WHY is that problematic?

Are we supposed to ONLY like one Dem candidate? I know we endorse or vote for just one, but, why can’t we be welcoming and supportive of candidates we just happen to like?

There is absolutely no reason to be denigrating someone like Sen. Warren.
