Hello,
Yesterday, Montana governor Steve Bullock officially filed paperwork to challenge Trump lackey Steve Daines for his Senate seat, raising hopes that Democrats could flip another seat.
In Maine, Democrat Sara Gideon leads Susan Collins by 1 point.
In Arizona, Mark Kelly leads Martha McSally by 7 points.
And Sabato's Crystal Ball now rates Cory Gardner's GOP Colorado seat as ‘‘Leans Democrat’’ and Thom Tillis's GOP North Carolina seat as a ‘‘Toss-up’’ -- we can do this!
Democrats need 4 seats to flip the Senate in 2020 and ensure that Mitch McConnell has no more power in Washington. Right now, we have our eyes on flipping as many as 8 Senate seats, but we have to turn out the vote to make sure that happens.
Our mission at When Democrats Turn Out is to prevent a repeat of the 2016 election, when millions of Democrats stayed home or were intimidated from voting at all, and Donald Trump won Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania each by just 0.7% or less. Our mission is to support every key Senate battleground race and beat Trump and McConnell in 2020.
Right now, we’re falling VERY short of our fundraising goals ahead of our endorsement announcement. If we can’t raise another $1,500 today, we’ll have to delay endorsing critical races right when they need the money. We’ll have to significantly scale back our strategy in 2020 -- right when we need to be scaling up.
