Former Biden White House aide wins crowded primary for safe Dem seat in Rhode Island
Politico reported on Democrats Serve PAC’s endorsement of Gabe Amo for Congress in Rhode Island’s 1st Congressional District.
Here’s an excerpt:
Gabe Amo is on a path to become his state’s first person of color in Congress after Democrats nominated him for Rhode Island’s 1st Congressional District on Tuesday.
Amo prevailed over nearly a dozen other Democrats with about 32 percent of the vote with over 90 percent of ballots counted, including a self-styled progressive who was endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). Throughout his campaign, Amo touted his time as a former Biden White House aide. He had the backing of the Congressional Black Caucus, Democrats Serve PAC, former White House chief of staff Ron Klain and former Rep. Patrick Kennedy.
