King: Amazing How Quickly Democrats Ran From Obama (Washington Free Beacon)

CNN’s Chief National Correspondent John King joined “New Day” Wednesday to discuss the fallout from many Democrats after President Barack Obama’s State of the Union, saying it was telling how quickly they ran to criticize the president’s proposals.

“What was telling after is how quickly vulnerable Senate Democrats were rushing to criticize the president,” King said. “You had Mark Begich of Alaska. You had Mark Udall of Colorado. You had a senator not on the ballot but a race in his state, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, saying the president was overstepping on executive action.”

King highlighted Begich’s particular reluctance to campaign with President Obama: “[Begich] is saying ‘I don’t want the president to campaign for me. I want him to come to Alaska so I can tell him how wrong he is.’”
