Amy Klobuchar ‘feeling better and better’ about Democratic prospects in future elections – Washington Examiner
Senator Amy Klobuchar expressed growing optimism about the Democratic Party’s prospects in upcoming midterm elections. After a recent campaign trip to New Hampshire supporting Rep. Chris Pappas, Klobuchar dismissed concerns over the party’s low approval ratings and highlighted rising enthusiasm among moderate voters, independents, and moderate Republicans who are dissatisfied with political chaos and rising costs. While focusing on the Senate and current elections, she declined to comment on any potential 2028 presidential run. Klobuchar also reflected on the 2024 Democratic primary, suggesting that an open primary would have benefited the party, noting that Joe Biden’s late withdrawal helped facilitate Vice president Kamala Harris’s campaign using their combined funds. Klobuchar conveyed confidence in Democratic candidates and their chances moving forward.
Amy Klobuchar ‘feeling better and better’ about Democratic prospects in future elections
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) expressed her optimism for the Democratic Party as the midterm elections draw nearer.
Klobuchar is fresh from a campaign trip to New Hampshire, where she sought to help Rep. Chris Pappas (D-NH) ahead of his bid for the Senate. The Minnesota senator dismissed what CNN host Jake Tapper referred to as the Democrats’ “dismal approval ratings” while appearing on State of the Union Sunday.
“I think every Democrat, national Democrat, including myself, is focused on this upcoming election, which is the midterms,” Klobuchar said.
“And when you look at the enthusiasm of our voters that are showing up, the people in the middle, moderate Republicans, independents that hate the chaos and the corruption and the costs going up, I am feeling better and better about how Democrats are doing every single day,” Klobuchar added.
When Tapper asked if she would run for president again in 2028, Klobuchar said, “I am focused on my job in the Senate.”
“I‘m really focused on our great candidates that are up all across the country,” Klobuchar said.
TAKEAWAYS FROM THE EARLY MIDTERM ELECTION FUNDRAISING NUMBERS
Klobuchar was part of the crowded Democratic primary that produced Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee in 2020.
Since the 2024 election, Klobuchar admitted that the party would have benefited from an open primary last summer, as well. Instead, Biden dropped out of the race so late into the year that he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris so she could utilize the Biden-Harris campaign funds raised up to that point.
