All of Elizabeth Warren's big-name political surrogates are hitting the trail in New Hampshire this weekend as she tries to stage a comeback from her disappointing third-place finish in Iowa.The next-in-line Kennedy scion and fellow Massachusetts lawmaker — a former student of Warren’s at Harvard Law School who introduced her when she formally announced for president — has made only two campaign appearances for Warren since then.
“It is notable that progressive leaders from across Massachusetts are using their staff resources to recruit for Warren canvasses, and headlining canvass launches in New Hampshire, yet Kennedy is not,” said a Boston-based Democratic strategist who is supporting Warren.Kennedy in September launched a primary challenge for Senate against incumbent Ed Markey.
Other high-profile Warren endorsers, including Reps. Ayanna Pressley, Katie Porter, and former presidential candidate Julián Castro, have done many more events for Warren in the early states despite endorsing months after Kennedy. Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey has made several trips, appearing on Warren's behalf in the debate spin room Friday night and on local news shows over the weekend.
In a statement, Warren's campaign spokesman Chris Hayden said, “We’re proud to have Rep. Kennedy’s support and our supporters in New Hampshire have been excited every time he has come to rally support for Elizabeth.” A Warren campaign source said that Kennedy has made other efforts to help her, such as calling fellow lawmakers, and that his staff has been campaigning for her.
Maybe he's hiding with BarackObama MichelleObama RepJoeKennedy . We need help in S.C. Word is cheating GOP plans to vote to sway toward Sanders who they believe trump will defeat. Help America, please.
Kennedy=another right-wing neoliberal friend of Dem leadership. He is fighting an established Dem progressive to achieve a Senate seat. Not a good look for Warren to have his support, or Kennedy, or Dem leadership.
