Mark Warner is accommodating left-leaning Democrats who dominate the party
MARK WARNER, a Democrat who is running for a third term as Virginia’s senior US senator in 2020, is unlikely to repeat the mistake that nearly cost him his seat in 2014: ignoring his party’s increasingly liberal base.
Mr Warner is getting a help from an unlikely source: President Donald Trump. As the senior Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, which continues to investigate Russia’s attack on the 2016 election, Mr Warner is a thorn in the president’s side. This month he said he still hoped to secure testimony from witnesses who cooperated with Robert Mueller’s investigation but not with the committee.
Mr Warner may not face much competition next year. So far, only one Republican has declared for the party’s nomination: Scott Taylor, a former congressman from the defence-rich southeastern corner of the state. Mr Taylor, a swaggering former navy SEAL with an incandescent smile, was swept from office in 2018 after a single term by an anti-Trump tsunami.
Mr Warner can meanwhile affirm his partisan credentials in the policy realm—specifically, as a member of the intelligence committee—by highlighting Mr Trump’s perceived accommodation of Russia, its attack on the 2016 campaign and Republican resistance to calls by Mr Warner and others to shield America’s electoral system from further foreign interference.
