Democrats Quietly Pumped Resources Into Alabama To Boost Doug Jones

For months, Democrats have stayed quiet about what, if anything, they were doing in Alabama to help Doug Jones in the state’s special Senate election. They’d insist they were helping, but they wouldn’t say how. 

“The Democrats have been doing a lot, but focused on the fact that Doug Jones has put together a really good campaign,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), who is leading the Democratic Party’s campaign efforts in Senate races this cycle, told HuffPost last month. “So we’re doing what we can to support Doug Jones’ campaign. ... But I think the story of this campaign is Doug Jones has put together a great organization.”
