And look, they are trying to get the more extreme candidate to face the Democrat in the general election. They believe that it gives them a better chance.\u201d <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/07\/06\/democrats-losing-black-voters-rnc\/\">(RELATED: \u2018A Difference In Leadership\u2019: Democrats Are Losing Support Among Minority Voters)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Both Diamond and Raju noted that Republican Gov.

Propping up these kinds of candidates like a Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania or a Kari Lake potentially in Arizona, that is contrary to everything else that you are telling the American people about where you stand and what you believe and what\u2019s important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic National Committee did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Content created by The Daily Caller News Foundation is available without charge to any eligible news publisher that can provide a large audience.
