Elrod: Harris Understands that It’s Part of Her Job to Carry Along Other Democrats Running in Close Races in Different States

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SHARPTON: “They announced this week they would donate nearly $25 million to down ballot Democrats, that includes $10 million for house races, $10 million for Senate races, nearly $3 million for state legislation races and $1 million each to elect democratic attorney generals. What can you tell us about the strategy behind this across-the- board?”

ELROD: “Well, the vice president understands that and it’s a part of her job, also to carry along other Democrats that are running in close races across different states because she knows the more Democrats she has in this house and Senate, the more she has as governor in different races, the more she is going to be able to pass her agenda that helps middle-class families across this country. So it is very important to her and while of course there are coattails that certainly come along with running for president, usually if you do well as president in a certain party, other candidates in those states also come along with you. But there’s no replacing getting money to the party committees that are working directly with those candidates and with those races. This is something that is very important to her and something very important to make sure that we have more Democrats in office across the country when the vice president becomes president so we can implement that very important agenda.”
