Democratic White House hopefuls are seeking advice from the Midwestern senators who just won reelection in Trump states.
As Democrats prepared to dive into the 2020 presidential election, they have sought counsel from Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. But they’ve also looked to Sens. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania and Debbie Stabenow of Michigan for advice from the key states that tipped the 2016 election to President Donald Trump.
“The path to the presidency goes right through Wisconsin. It was Trump's narrow win in this state as well as some neighboring states that solidified the presidency for him,” Baldwin told POLITICO in an interview.The 2020 Election. The New Congress.

Gillibrand’s campaign specifically requested MSNBC hold her town hall in Michigan’s 11th Congressional District, which Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens flipped last year, according to an aide. The New York senator's PAC donated to Stevens during her primary campaign. Gillibrand has already spoken to Stabenow for advice and plans to speak to fellow Michigan Sen. Gary Peters soon.
