Mitch McConnell Joins Fund Raiser For Vermont U.S. Senate Candidate

May 11, 2022

Christina Nolan, who served as the United States attorney for the district of Vermont from 2017 to 2021, is running for U.S. Senate.

The Republican had a fund raiser in Washington D.C. on Tuesday, May 3 with Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, as The American Independent reports. The suggested donation was $500 or more.

Nolan’s run comes as  Patrick Leahy, a Democrat who has been in the U.S. Senate since 1975, is retiring at the end of his term early next year; Leahy is the only registered Democrat to serve as a U.S. Senator from the state.

Nolan is running to the left on certain issues; she supports legal abortion and she supports a public option on health care.

Gerald Malloy, a conservative, is also seeking the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Vermont.

The race is safe Democratic, according to Sabato’s Crystal Ball.

On the Democrats’ side, U.S. Representative Peter Welch, 75, is the favorite among three candidates.
