DSCC embarrassingly celebrates Cory Booker being elected “United Steates Senator”

Oops. Apparently the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee needs some spelling help.

Following Cory Booker’s win in the New Jersey special election for U.S. Senate, the DSCC ran a congratulatory banner thanking donors across the top of its website — except the current mayor of Newark would probably be surprised to know he’s now a “United Steates Senator.”

The error has since been removed from the website, but not before it was caught by Twitter user @RBPundit and mocked widely.

If only the DSCC was as committed to spelling as it is to “Keeping a Democratic Majority in the Senate.”
