Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), the presumptive Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, appeared Thursday morning on MSNBC’s the Daily Rundown, to discuss issues including President Obama’s support for gay marriage, and her state’s recall elections.
Chuck Todd asked Baldwin: “Do you worry, though, that there’s going to be like a cycle of recall, if you will, in Wisconsin politics — where it seems every six months somebody’s getting recalled?”
“You know, I think that this chapter will be closed after this summer,” said Baldwin. “This was a very rare occurrence, but also one that sprung up from the grassroots. I don’t think you can replicate that on a routine basis. This was Wisconsinites feeling like their values were threatened, and that they were being deceived by their public officials, including the Governor of Wisconsin. And that’s what you saw unfold in Wisconsin.
“I don’t see that happening again. These circumstances won’t present themselves — I hope — again for a long, long time.”
