25. "Dana Nessel sounds the alarm on DNC failing in key 2022 midterm races"

Raw Story

Mohyeldin asked Nessel about the status of her re-election campaign and if she was getting as much support from Democrats as DePerno and Karamo are receiving from Trump.

"I mean, I'm just gonna be honest with you, no, I've never heard anything from the DNC," Nessel said.

"They seem, as usual, to be focused on the federal races," she explained. "And I really do think it's time to stop and understand that without these statewide elected positions — again the secretary of state, and attorney generals in all of these incredibly important swing states — if we're not truly focused on those positions, then it's likely not to matter, when you get to the level where Congress has a say, because the states will not be properly certified to reflect the will of the voters in those prospective states."

"And, of course, because of the Electoral College, it really doesn't matter just how much a candidate wins the popular vote in New York, or California. It's these crucial swing states that make all the difference in our elections," Nessel said.


I can't interpret this; the wouldn't hear from DNC because that's not their job; she would here from DASS who's job is to support Secretaries of State. I'm guessing she's unhappy because DNC isn't doing messaging for the overall election.
