MS State Senate Rumble: Chris McDaniel, Conservatives Expose GOP Establishment’s Common Core Supportby Matthew Boyle. 12 Feb 2015 No wonder newly seated U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell worked so hard to defeat McDaniel during primary season last year. McConnell even hosted a fundraiser at the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) in Washington, D.C. last summer—a fundraiser that saw McConnell raise more than $800,000 in one night for Sen. Thad Cochran’s (R-MS) efforts to get Democrats to vote for him in the GOP primary runoff. Cochran beat state McDaniel in a June 24 runoff last year after McDaniel got more votes overall than Cochran—but failed to reach 50 percent—in the June 3 primary. Cochran ended up winning due to a widespread, orchestrated, well-funded effort by his campaign and its allies to get Democrats to vote in the Republican primary runoff. McDaniel got about 60 percent of the Republican vote that day, while Cochran got more votes overall thanks to Democratic crossover. It’s becoming ever clearer why McConnell didn’t want McDaniel in the U.S. Senate, and why he pulled out all the stops to ensure he didn’t make it there.
