President Joe Biden Makes His First Midterm Endorsement
Yahoo News ^ | April 25, 2022 | By Daniel Marans

President Joe Biden made his first endorsement of the midterm election cycle on Saturday, lending his support to Rep. Kurt Schrader (Ore.), a centrist Democrat locked in a contentious primary.

“We don’t always agree, but when it has mattered most, Kurt has been there for me,” Biden said in a statement. “And in doing so, he has helped to pass much of my agenda into law ― making a huge difference in the lives of the Oregonians he represents and all of America.”

“Now we have a lot more to do and to get it done we need to keep a Democratic Congress,” he added. “Kurt Schrader has had my back from early on and played an important part in the progress we have made as a nation.”

Schrader, one of Congress’ most conservative Democrats, faces a challenge from progressive attorney Jamie McLeod-Skinner in the May 17 primary for Oregon’s 5th Congressional District.

House Democrats’ official campaign arm, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, has taken an active role in Schrader’s primary race, maintaining that a different Democratic nominee would be more vulnerable in a possible Republican wave year.

When have they not agreed? As if Biden would know.

The myth of centrist Democrats continues from the Yahoo liars. And it shows how desperate they are to fool people.

More media gas-lighting, describing Schrader as ‘centrist’ & ‘most conservative.’ Compared to what?!

Over at Democratic Underground they’re not very fond of the guy. Too much a moderate, they want someone much more liberal/progressive.

Kurt will never be more ‘there for joe’ than he will after the election. I hope joe will have some work for him.

Screw him. If a “moderate” is someone who votes with the radicals 100% of the time, then he’s of no use to the republic

The Democrat Party is a long ways away from the time they had real and influential centrists like Scoop Jackson and Sam Nunn!

On his local TV campaign ad he points out how proud he is to be a supporter of planned parenthood——yeah, he’s solid. Not sure how much more the progs want?

The Democrats who want his endorsement are left of leftists in safe Democrat districts.

Anyone facing a Republicrat challenger in a district with crime surges doesn't want Jao Bai-din's endorsement.
