Swamp Stories Episode 44: A conversation with former Amb. Tim Roemer and former Rep. Zach Wamp
This year, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has spent millions of dollars boosting election denier candidates in GOP primaries across the country in the gamble that they will be easier for Democrats to beat this November.
