“All signs in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina point to very active primaries of the likes the committee has almost completely been able to avoid until now,” said one veteran operative involved in Senate races.
Last week, Milwaukee Bucks executive Alex Lasry launched his campaign with endorsements from several local Milwaukee officials, joining Nelson in the race. And Sarah Godlewski, the state treasurer who won her first statewide election in 2018, is “seriously considering” a campaign and will make a final decision in the spring, according to a spokesman.
Lasry, 33, said he got into the Wisconsin race early because it was “probably the most important Senate election in the country” and said he’d bring a “fresh perspective.” He highlighted the $15 minimum wage and commitment to union jobs through the NBA franchise as two examples of his approach. He said he would invest his own money in the race, but also planned to build a campaign focused on the grassroots.
“They're fundamentally not operating in the way they did in this period in 2019,” said one Democratic consultant who works on Senate races. “They are far more hands-off already than they were at this point in 2019, that is very clearly the case.” “It’s early in the cycle, but we will do whatever it takes to protect and grow our majority,” Boss said. “Every race is unique, and the DSCC will work carefully to ensure Democrats have strong nominees and the campaign infrastructure to win in 2022.”
