Following up on Friday’s Corner postabout Pennsylvania Democratic senator Bob Casey running an ad boasting, “Casey bucked Biden to protect fracking and he sided with Trump to end NAFTA,” several other Democratic senators in tight races are running commercials that tout their ability to work with Donald Trump.
In Ohio, Democratic senator Sherrod Brown boasts in a new ad, “I’ve worked with presidents of both parties to do what’s best for our state.”
Like Casey, Sherrod Brown is wildly exaggerating his willingness to reach across the aisle and deviate from his party’s orthodoxy; he voted with the Biden administration’s position 98.5 percent of the time. But, for what it’s worth, he did vote with the Trump administration’s position 25 percent of the time.
Then there’s Wisconsin Democratic senator Tammy Baldwin; her new ad boasts, ‘Tammy Baldwin got President Trump to sign her Made in America bill.”
