“After todayai??i??s revelations of years of police reports about allegations of domestic abuse involving Alan Grayson, we are no longer willing to support and are formally withdrawing our endorsement of him in the race for U.S. Senate.

“Unfortunately, this deeply disappointing revelation means progressives have no great options in the Florida race for Senate.” — Stephanie Taylor, Co-Founder, PCCC; Adam Green, Co-Founder, PCCC;Ai??Charles Chamberlain, Executive Director, DFA

This is the first unendorsement in history of both the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and Democracy for America.

The PCCC and DFA call on Alan Grayson to donate all money donated to his Senate campaign by PCCC and DFA members to an Orlando-based organization to help victims of domestic abuse.

Commentators have suggested that after Sanders’ success in Michigan, Clinton courted the big Midwestern states this week by sounding more like her rival than ever – that she won not by opposing Sanders, but by emulating him.

“Hillary Clinton won Ohio and had a Super Tuesday by riding the economic populist tide instead of fighting it,” said Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, in a statement. “The primary continues – but no matter who wins, the center of gravity has fundamentally shifted in the Democratic Party.”

If Sanders’ goal was to force a sharp left turn out of the Clinton campaign – to force her to respond to those disillusioned with centrist politics – he has achieved it unequivocally. And despite her decisive victories yesterday, the fact remains that if Clinton is to win the White House, she will have to continue to accommodate the ideological challenge that Sanders represents and the voters who support it.

Sanders won Michigan by tapping into angst over trade, manufacturing and the overall economic outlook, primarily for lower-income workers in industrial Midwestern states.

As she has seen voters’ frustrations grow in her own party, Clinton has adopted Sanders’ message and even his language sometimes when speaking about income equality, and in opposing a large Pacific trade agreement that she once called the gold standard.

“Hillary Clinton won Ohio and had a Super Tuesday by riding the economic populist tide instead of fighting it,” said Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. “Clinton has engaged Bernie Sanders in a race to the top on key issues like expanding Social Security instead of cutting it, breaking up too-big-to-fail banks, jailing Wall Street executives who break the law, and debt-free college. That was almost unimaginable a year ago.”

An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll last November found deep frustration, with nearly 7 in 10 Americans agreeing they were angry that the political system “seems to only be working for the insiders with money and power, like those on Wall Street or in Washington.”
