Her opponent didn’t show up. Sarah McBride made her case for Congress anyway at UD debate
Sarah McBride, a Delaware state senator and Democratic nominee for the U.S. House seat, was the only congressional candidate to show up Wednesday night at a University of Delaware debate, reports Olivia Montes.
“In a discussion with moderator Ralph Begleiter, founding director of the University of Delaware Center for Political Communication, McBride emphasized the importance of making congress ‘work better for the people’ and having leaders who are committed to ’rolling up their sleeves, diving into the details and bringing people together’ for the greater good,’’ Olivia writes.
The Republican nominee, lifelong Delawarean and retired businessman John J. Whalen III, declined to attend.
