Rep. Alan Grayson’s troubled Senate campaign has continued to unravel on Wednesday, as several staffers resigned and a chorus of Democrats called on him to quit the race as reported by POLITICO.
The developments came in the wake of a POLITICO report about domestic-abuse claims by his ex-wife and a hot-tempered confrontation Grayson had with a POLITICO reporter.Senator Chuck Schumer (NY-D) said:
I’ve never thought much about Grayson as a candidate . . . And now it’s of course much, much worse. He ought to do the right thing and drop out.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Schumer went on to say:
Schumer had previously endorsed Grayson’s opponent in the August 30th primary, Rep. Patrick Murphy.All of these things he has done, this tops the cake. Allegations of abuse and the way he treats it shows you that he is a bully.
Grayson has denied ever beating his ex-wife. He said the allegations are “ridiculous.” His campaign also said he is not quitting the race.
Grayson’s campaign manager, Michael Ceraso said the following:
Democratic voters in Florida, not out-of-touch party bosses in Washington, D.C., will be choosing our Senate nominee.
Two liberal groups, Democracy for America and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee have also withdrew their endorsements of Grayson.
