Carolina Journal reports that the Senate Leadership Fund plans to invest $71 million in the campaign of Michael Whatley.
What is the Senate Leadership Fund? It is a PAC that the Republican Senate leadership uses to elect candidates it would prefer.
Given this hefty pledged contribution, it is pretty clear John Thune wants Michael Whatley to be elected.
What can we infer about Michael Whatley by virtue of this endorsement? Remember, he is mostly a blank slate and has never held elective office.
I think we can assume Thune thinks Whatley will help him fail to deliver results for the party’s conservative base. That is the objective of Thune’s leadership, after all.
Let’s hope Whatley proves me wrong.
