“So he should be thinking more about what is best for his constituents and not what Mitch McConnell tells him to say,” MJ Hegar says.

“MJ’s false attack is just another example of her sticking to the script national Democrats have written for her,” a Cornyn campaign spokesman reacts.

“Steven Law, a former top McConnell aide who heads the Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC supporting Senate Republicans, said GOP incumbents have been effective in showcasing their response to the pandemic, including the trillions of dollars Congress has provided to support all elements of the economy.“

I think what people don't understand though is that this isn't the year that people care about "mini scandals". they aren't breaking through. They may online, or on Twitter, or on the local news for 2.4 seconds. But that's it. The virus (and protests for a while there) is just way too omnipresent where nothing else really matters besides the virus and trump tbh.
