Can Trudy Busch Save Missouri Democrats From Embarrassing Midterm Defeat?!?!

Probably not.

But do their credit . . . Progressives don't seem too excited about this Hillary Clinton Democrat getting into the fray.

We sense more than a bit of skepticism from this quick write-up . . .

Beer heiress Trudy Busch Valentine, a registered nurse, is a member of the family that owned a majority stake in Anheuser-Busch until it was sold to InBev in 2008 for $52 billion. Forbes magazine in 2020 listed the family’s wealth at $17.6 billion, the 16th largest family fortune in the nation.

The campaign will be Valentine’s first run for public office, although she is well-known in Democratic political circles. According to data from the Federal Election Commission, Valentine contributed $116,000 to Democratic party and candidate committees from 2015 through 2020. And in 2016, Valentine hosted a fundraiser at Grant’s Farm, the Busch family estate, for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
