Corruption Rises to Top of Voter Concerns

New York Times: “Allegations of corruption in Washington are nothing new in political campaigns. They are usually shrugged off by voters who figure all politicians are equally guilty, whether they be Democrats such as former Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey or Republicans like former Representative George Santos of New York. But Democratic efforts to bolster the issue this year may be resonating amid a drumbeat of stories about Mr. Trump’s staggering increase in wealth and the billionaire and corporate elites who have supported him.”

“Some recent polls have shown corruption has risen to the top of issues that voters say they care about most, fueled by a withering distrust in government and a sense of opacity in Washington.”

MS NOW: As voters head to the polls, questions about Trump’s financial dealings grow.
