WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s campaign is creating a telephone hotline for its staffers as one of the ways they can report any allegations of harassment or inappropriate behavior.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand has hired a top staffer who is certified as a professional in human resources. That staffer got recertified, specifically to be up to date on best practices in sexual harassment trainings and policies, just before joining her 2020 team.

And Sen. Cory Booker’s team is designing several mandatory employee trainings on different workplace issues.

The cream will rise to the top, and others who aren't up to the challenge will fade away. We have an abundance of riches in our Democratic party... some will be better than others. Some will shine brighter. I'm looking forward to seeing which Democrat our party chooses.
