Amo (RI-01) gives Biden ammo
Politico reported on Democrats Serve PAC’s endorsement of Gabe Amo for Congress in Rhode Island’s 1st Congressional District.
Here’s an excerpt:
“When GABE AMO announced in April that he was jumping into the crowded Democratic primary to replace Rhode Island Rep. DAVID CICILLINE, few Ocean State political insiders thought that the former special assistant to President JOE BIDEN had a decent shot at winning.:
“And yet, the race wasn’t particularly close. The AP called it for Amo within an hour of polls closing Tuesday night. He won 32 percent of the vote, beating out 10 other Democrats to advance to the general election.”
“It’s helpful not to be a frontrunner and I think Gabe benefited from being underestimated throughout the race, especially early,” said BRETT BROESDER, the founding executive director of the Democrats Serve PAC, which backed Amo.”
