The Senate's three most vulnerable Democrats are skipping next week's Democratic National Convention in Chicago in an effort to fence their campaigns off from the top of the ticket. Sens. Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Jon Tester (Mont.) and Jacky Rosen (Nev.) all plan to campaign back home instead.
Why it matters: Vice President Kamala Harris and running-mate Tim Walz both hail from the party's liberal wing. So endangered Democrats are localizing their campaigns whenever they can, in an effort to project a moderate face. Brown and Tester both represent states Tump handily won twice, meaning they'll all-but-certainly have to outperform Harris by significant margins to stave off their GOP opponents on Nov. 5. Rosen also may need to outrun Harris in swing-state Nevada, which President Biden won in 2020 by less than 3 percentage points.
Axios has a good report on this. Take a look.
