Patty Murray (D., Wash.) supports the Democratic Party\u2019s efforts to boost election-denying Republicans, whom she has called a threat to democracy.<\/p>\n<p>Murray on Sunday told CNN <em>State of the Union\u00a0<\/em>host Dana Bash that she supports Democrats\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/elections\/election-deniers-primary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">million-dollar effort<\/a> to boost candidates who support former president Donald Trump\u2019s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. But just last month, Murray <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MurrayCampaign\/status\/1559953013460111367\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">released<\/a> an ad slamming members of &#8220;the MAGA mob,&#8221; who she says &#8220;want to seize power&#8221; in the midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>Bash pressed Murray on Democrats\u2019 controversial campaign strategy, asking &#8220;If election deniers are a threat to democracy, are you okay with your fellow Democrats helping them win their primaries?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Murray sidestepped the question, assuring Bash that &#8220;what Democratic supporters are doing is working to make sure that we have a Democratic majority in the United States Senate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Democrats are throwing money behind extreme candidates in hopes that they will be easier to beat in the general election. In New Hampshire, the party\u2019s Senate Majority PAC purchased $3.2 million in ad time to attack moderate Republican Chuck Morse, <em>Politico <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/09\/02\/dem-super-pac-republican-new-hampshire-senate-primary-00054690\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> Friday. Morse, a long-serving state senator, is set to square off against far-right GOP candidate Don Bolduc in a September senate primary. Bolduc is beating Morse by double digits in the most recent polls, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/epolls\/2022\/senate\/NewHampshire.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to<\/a> <em>RealClearPolitics<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans made their own ad buy in the race of nearly $4 million for Morse. Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) has pledged $23 million in TV ads for the general election in November.<\/p>\n<p>In Pennsylvania, Democrats spent more than $840,000 to help Doug Mastriano, a Republican gubernatorial candidate who attended the January 6 rally in Washington, D.C. In Illinois, Gov. J.B. Pritzker and the Democratic Governors Association spent $30 million to attack a moderate black Republican, helping the Trump-endorsed state senator Darren Bailey win the GOP primary.<\/p>\n<p>Murray leads her Republican opponent, Tiffany Smiley, by 3 points, according to a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetrafalgargroup.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/WA-General-Poll-Report-0902.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poll.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
