Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said Thursday that Senate Democrats “welcome support” from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton in the 2018 midterm elections.

When asked Thursday whether the Senate Democratic campaign arm welcomes involvement from two key former senators — Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama — Van Hollen replied in the affirmative. He also did so when asked later about the 42nd president.
