MSNBC’s Chris Hayes reports: Democrats recently won two big special elections -- winning control of the Pennsylvania State House by 1 seat and flipping a Republican stronghold to get within 1 seat of a majority in the New Hampshire State House.

Even better, Democrats WILDLY outperformed their expected vote share -- by 13 points in PA and 18 points in NH.

So far this year, there have been 30 special elections in places with different demographic makeup. Pro-democracy candidates defeated far-right extremists in an overwhelming 80% of these races, outperforming expected margins by an average of 11 points.

The PCCC has already endorsed over 150 state and local candidates this year -- including people running in some of the most competitive races for legislature and school board in 2024. Now, we are working on training these candidates (who often have few resources) and preparing more endorsements.

"This is not an isolated incident. In fact, it’s part of what continues to be one of the most surprising and reliable political trends of the last few years… There is a strong case to be made that those results tell us way more about the state of our democracy and the political strength of the pro-democracy forces in this country than all of today’s other political headlines put together," Chris Hayes reports.

"The threat to democracy in the person of Donald Trump, the faction he represents, the forces that he’s channeling, is real and it is terrifying… But when you stand in the pro-democracy coalition, remember, you are in the majority."

Stand with us in the pro-democracy coalition. Can you contribute $3 or more to our work in the most competitive 2023 and 2024 races? Click here.
