John, Republican candidates are gearing up to take the debate stage for the next round.

Debate prep looks a little different for everyone, though. For Ron DeSantis, it includes indoctrinating Florida’s students into the cult of far-right conservatism. For Vivek Ramaswamy, it means championing (and denying) his personal conspiracy theories about the 9/11 terrorist attack.

And for Donald Trump? It means getting indicted — and then finding a way into the spotlight without actually having to face his opponents.

If there’s one thing to take away from this week’s debate, it’s that the MAGA Circus isn’t packing up any time soon.

We are days away from our next FEC deadline, and we need to show these clowns that no matter who they nominate to take on President Biden, they don’t have a fighting chance against our progressive, people-first movement. Split a donation between me and Democracy Defense Fund of any amount so this circus can exit stage left!

If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.
