Trump Could Be Deciding Factor In Surprisingly Tight Missouri Senate Race

Saint Louis University political scientist Ken Warren believes the top of the ticket will be a factor this time, and Kander will benefit.

"There's no question that Trump will hurt Blunt," Warren said. "A lot of Republicans just do not support Trump, particularly the more educated, more metropolitan Republicans who will not turn out. If fewer Republican voters show up and vote for the Republican ticket, it's essentially negative coattails."

If you can, take a look at his website:

https://www.jasonkander.com

This man is remarkable. He is a military veteran, a family man and an experienced public servant. He's smart, personable and full of progressive ideas.

When I read this story earlier today, I went to his website and made a sizable donation. Jason Kander will very likely be part of our retaking of the Senate. He deserves our support.
