which states: “Steny Hoyer, the No. 2 Democrat in the House of
Representatives, has for years been a prolific campaigner on behalf of
current and potential members of Congress. …
“The secretly taped audio recording, released here for the first
time, reveals how senior Democratic officials have worked to crush
competitive primaries and steer political resources, money, and other
support to hand-picked candidates in key races across the country, long
before the party publicly announces a preference. The invisible
assistance boosts the preferred candidate in fundraising and
endorsements, and then that fundraising success and those endorsements
are used to justify national party support. Meanwhile, opponents of the
party’s unspoken pick are driven into paranoia, wondering if they are
merely imagining that unseen hands are working against them.”
