PINE TOWNSHIP, Pennsylvania — When Sarah Sanders took center stage Wednesday night at an event for Dave McCormick, a Republican primary candidate for the U.S. Senate, her entrance into the packed event space didn’t go as planned.
“Oh, great. My first impression with all of you is me almost taking the candidate out,” she deadpanned to the crowd after the wire to the microphone she was holding got tangled with McCormick‘s footing at the suburban Allegheny County event space.
Sanders started her career in politics as a child in 1992, stuffing envelopes for her father’s campaign for Arkansas governor. She took that to the next level in 2008, when her father ran a shoestring presidential campaign highlighted by an iconic and hysterical ad with Chuck Norris and a big upset win in the Iowa caucuses.
Sanders has emerged from the White House as a prolific fundraiser, raising nearly $480,000 this month, with over $7.5 million in the bank overall. While Washington pundits and reporters may view Sanders one way, attendees at this event see her much differently, which is why they often miss why she is a hit here but not there.
While issues such as inflation, education, opioids, crime, and border security are on the top of folks' minds whether they are Republican, Democratic, or independent voters, issues such as climate change, transgender politics, and COVID mandates are at the bottom of the list.
