Sen. Chris Murphy is really impressing me. [View all]

I see him as someone who is helping to unite Democrats. He's not drawing huge crowds but the crowds he does get are working.

kitchen talks on Instagram seem to come more naturally to Murphy than riling up a crowd, his message is clearly resonating with his party's base of voters, many of whom are angry at Democrats in Washington for inaction. He raised around $8 million in the first quarter of the year, a significant sum that could rival the totals for Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, who have been drawing much larger crowds on a tour together.

“The only way that history tells us that you stop an elected leader from converting a country away from democracy is mass mobilization,” he said.
