In a surprise move, a conservative super PAC known for its pro-Trump stance has thrown its support behind a Democratic candidate in a House election. The Fellowship PAC, which has historically backed Republican candidates, has donated to Ritchie Torres, a Democrat running for re-election in New York's 15th Congressional District. Torres, who has been a vocal advocate for cryptocurrency and other tech-related issues, has become the first Democrat to receive funding from the Fellowship PAC, a move that has left many in the political world scratching their heads. As Torres prepares to face a relatively unopposed election, the question remains: what motivated the Fellowship PAC to back a Democrat, and what implications will this have for Torres' campaign and the broader political landscape?
Torres, the only Democrat boosted by cash from the conservative Fellowship PAC, has no serious competition in his House race. The post Trump-Loving Crypto Super PAC Finally Backs a Democrat: Ritchie Torres appeared first on The Intercept.
