Democratic Senator to Campaign for Bush
- Share via
U.S. Sen. Zell Miller, a Georgia Democrat who has frequently broken with his party to support Republican policies, has agreed to campaign for President Bush’s reelection, a campaign spokesman said.
The move gives the campaign a major name for its efforts to organize Democrats for Bush around the country, after a similar push struggled in 2000.
It also represents a further step in the GOP’s effort in the South, where the retirement of several senior Democratic senators could help Republicans widen their Senate majority.
