Nearly one month ago, Duckworth’s so-called ‘unity breakfast’ was anything but unifying.
FLASHBACK:
-
WTTW, 4/15/16: "Tammy Duckworth has no friends among African American voters. I mean, most African American leaders were very disappointed with her and the race that she ran in the primary. They don’t like this woman. I think Mark Kirk will probably get a lot of support in places that he normally would not have gotten support in."
- CLTV, 3/24/16: "Tammy Duckworth may need to win over critics in her own party ahead of the general election"
Duckworth’s solution? Find the most liberal surrogate possible.
Politico‘s Morning Score reports that Duckworth is set to campaign today with far-left progressive Elizabeth Warren:
- "Warren to campaign with Duckworth: Sen. Elizabeth Warren will be in Chicago Friday for an event with seniors for Democratic Rep. Tammy Duckworth’s Senate campaign."
Free advice for Duckworth and Warren as they meet with Illinois seniors: steer clear of their mutual support for a $716 billion cut to Medicare.
Tammy Duckworth should hope that her last-ditch effort to gin up support among what ought to be her own base proves to be more effective than her tenure in Washington.
