Senate Democrats’ campaign chief: Trump a ‘motivating factor for turnout’
The HIll ^ | 11/21/2022 | ZACH SCHONFELD

Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), chair of Senate Democrats’ campaign arm, credited former President Trump for Democratic turnout in the midterms and said Trump could continue to be a problem for Republicans.

“There’s no question that Donald Trump is a motivating factor for turnout when it comes to Democratic voters,” Peters said in an interview with NBC’s Sahil Kapur.

Democrats secured a razor-thin majority in the Senate in the midterm elections by flipping Pennsylvania’s seat and defending vulnerable incumbents in Nevada and Arizona.

In Georgia, Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) will face Republican Herschel Walker again in a Dec. 6 runoff that could either expand Democrats’ majority.

“This is historic,” Peters told NBC. “For the party in power in the White House, and given where we are with inflation and other factors, to not lose a seat right now — I believe we will gain a seat — is truly historic

Does one really need to “turn out” when one has their ballot filled out and collected for them? Asking for a friend.

I agree. Trump wasn’t on the ballot. Why would they turn out for someone who is not even on the ballot. The vast majority of voters didn’t know who Trump endorsed or didn’t endorse. More posturing so Trump doesn’t run or isn’t elected in the primaries.

Of course, what were we thinking supporting Trump!!!

It couldn’t be the massive voter fraud you routinely employ, could it?

They turned out because of mail in balloting and ballot harvesting. We now have people who are no information voters out there. Venezuela, here we come.

Agreed. Republicans need to learn how to match the Dems with “turn out”.

Saying, “It’s Trumps doing” makes Dems “feel good” about themselves.

Actually, it's the 2022 Narrative for the Steal.

Combined with the Abortion Narrative.

Think of it as "covering fire".

Sorry chief, you’re fulll of chit. Baby killing abortions, tuition reparations for the College Drop Out Snowflake deadbeats and Banana Boater Voter Mail In ballots is what drove your RAT “turnout”. You can take that to the bank.

Better than anything BeijingBiden managed.

Again, WHY do so many hate Trump??

I met him twice in NYC. Didn’t like the guy at all. BUT he delivered for Americans.

No doubt Biden’s Satanic demonization of MAGA had some effect. on turn out. Casting Democrats as defenders of democracy is a bad joke though. It appears that Gen Z turned out in large numbers for the student loan debt freebie and single white college educated women turned out for abortion. I suppose Trump could be blamed for the abortion vote, but I don’t begrudge him for that.
