The Democratic party’s presidential nominee will have an outsized effect on critical down-ticket Senate races — so some swing-state Democrats are trying to escape a presidential debate veering left
CARY, N.C. — National Democrats have moved aggressively in must-win Senate races, wading into contested primaries and wooing candidates they think can compete in swing states around the country.
But no matter how much distance individual Senate candidates put between themselves and the 2020 primary, running away from the party’s presidential nominee rarely works and might not be much of an option. That’s why different Democratic factions are already arguing that their candidate is more likely to notch the seats needed to make Chuck Schumer majority leader.
“Certainly, a Biden, a more moderate candidate, makes the path a little bit easier,” said Sen. Doug Jones , the most vulnerable Democratic incumbent and a Biden supporter. “And others would make it more narrow.” Democrats are also anxiously eyeing the 2020 primary in Arizona, an emerging presidential battleground that has a must-win Senate race for both parties.
“Democrats are listening to voters, running on the issues important to them, and raising the resources to run robust, statewide operations,” she said.
