Narrative

Still, a source close to Schlossberg was quick to dismiss speculation he was holed up somewhere in the wake of the defeat, telling the Daily Mail he has spent part of the summer with his family in Martha's Vineyard. 'While he did spend time in Martha's Vineyard with his family, he's also been back multiple times to the city and had multiple meetings, including next steps and ideas he has for the party ahead of the midterms,' a source familiar with his movements said.
