In response to the news that Senator Corker will not seek reelection in 2018, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Communications Director Lauren Passalacqua issued the following statement”
“Vulnerable Republican incumbents see the writing on the wall – they don’t want to defend their disastrous health care agenda, which is toxic with voters of every political persuasion, and are terrified to engage in divisive and expensive primaries. Senator Corker’s decision is the latest example of a key theme driving GOP Senate primaries across the country: divided and leaderless, Republican Senate campaigns have nothing to run on but a string of broken promises, and this dynamic will continue to define Republican Senate primaries across the map.”
