Senate Democratic candidates are wavering over whether to support President Obama’s plan to raise taxes on families earning more than $250,000 a year.

At least seven Democrats in battleground states say they support or could support extending tax breaks for families who make more than $250,000.

Obama has called on letting tax cuts for those families expire at the end of the year.

Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) and North Carolina Secretary of State Elaine Marshall (D) have also said they are flexible about extending tax cuts passed under President George W. Bush for families earning above $250,000.
