Have Rep. Rob Bresnahan’s stock trading escapades caught up to him? According to The Cook Political Report, the answer is yes.
“Freshman Rep. Rob Bresnahan’s stock trades have dogged him all cycle, giving Democrats a potent line of attack in a district that has been trending Republicans’ way but is very much in play this cycle,” [Cook Political Report] writes.
“It’s clear that the Republican incumbent there, Rob Bresnahan, doesn’t necessarily have a clear edge […]
“The combination of this broader national political environment and also Bresnahan’s own vulnerabilities, particularly around his stock trading which has gotten a ton of media coverage at both the national and local level for the past year, has made him more vulnerable.
“And we’ve seen polling that validates that from both sides.”
