Cochran Goes On Attack

“After months of milquetoast statements and letting surrogates do any campaign trash talking, Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) went on the offensive in Hattiesburg on Tuesday, calling his opponent Chris McDaniel ‘an extremist’ who would hurt Mississippi with indiscriminate cuts to federal spending,” the Jackson Clarion Ledger reports.

“But his offensive campaign and more hands-on stumping comes late in the game, as Cochran trails McDaniel at least slightly in recent polls since fighting to a draw in last week’s primary and heading to a runoff June 24.”
