The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is expected to back more than 20 Democrat House candidates in the 2020 election, according to an August 27 report in Politico.
The support for 20-plus Democrats comes as the GOP tries to gain 17 extra seats and control of the House this November.
“Grassroots Republicans have long accused the Chamber of Commerce of selling out conservative values, so it’s not surprising to see them come out of the closet as full-on Democrat partisans,” a former official in President Donald Trump’s White House said.
Politico reported:
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is poised to endorse nearly two dozen freshmen House Democrats for reelection, triggering a revolt within the right-leaning organization and drawing fierce pushback from the group’s powerful GOP donors.
The decision represents a sharp departure for the traditionally conservative Chamber, which has spent over $100 million backing Republican candidates during the past decade, and it threatens to further complicate the party’s prospects in the November election while driving a split in the business community.
Chamber leaders — including President Suzanne Clark, Chief Executive Officer Tom Donahue and Executive Vice President Neil Bradley — have been pushing the proposal ahead of a Thursday committee vote to finalize a slate of 2020 endorsements.

These are the wannabe Chinese communist Traitors. They rather destroy the United States for a buck. But they will never win. Because President Trump has GOD helping him fight. Since McConnell McCarthy Graham and the rest won't help the President.
Did they miss the last few years of economic upturn?
That tears it, I will not renew my membership.
the business rats always know when to leave a sinking ship.....
10:34 part of the swamp getting rich selling out America.
This is not really news. The chamber of Commerce is who wants to stop the building of the wall so cheap workers can flood the country.
