WTF?

[Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-Mass.)], who is locked in a contentious primary against sitting Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), planned to launch a joint committee to raise funds and support Democratic Senate candidates Sara Gideon in Maine, Jaime Harrison in South Carolina, Cal Cunningham in North Carolina and Barbara Bollier in Kansas.

The congressman’s campaign made the pitch to the candidates on Tuesday, according to the Boston Globe. The paper reported that the candidates were receptive to the plan but that the Kennedy campaign was later told by one of the Democratic campaigns that the DSCC [Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee], which is focused in part on defending incumbents, said that they could not team up with Kennedy in the proposed committee.

The DSCC declined to comment.

  The Hill
Democrats, your party sucks.
The DSCC has gotten behind Markey’s reelection bid.

“We’ve endorsed him publicly. We will be there to work with him and his team to ensure that they have the resources they need to get his message out,” Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.), the chairwoman of the DSCC, said last year, referring to Markey.
Maybe the DSCC shouldn't be endorsing one Democratic candidate over another.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
