John, Donald Trump just attacked Adam personally on the heels of Monday’s debate — but this is bigger than just Adam. After calling Adam a “slimeball,” “low life,” “shifty,” and more, he then tried to cast doubt on California’s primary election.
Trump repeated the same election lies he’s spread since 2016 about California, and if we don’t build the resources to respond now, these lies could spiral out of control.
Trump’s supporters believe him. A majority of California Republicans believe the 2020 election was “stolen” — the same voters Trump is hoping will turn out for him and will only help the leading Republican in Adam’s race, Steve Garvey, in our March 5 primary.
John, will you rush any amount to Adam’s campaign right now to help us fight back against Trump’s lies about our elections and instill confidence that every Californian’s vote matters so they turn out by March 5?

Here’s what’s at the root of Trump’s long con against California’s election integrity:
It hurt Trump’s ego to lose the popular vote to Hillary Clinton in 2016, and he has never gotten over it.
He tweeted weeks after the 2016 election that there was “Serious voter fraud” in California.
During a 2018 rally he claimed that, “In many places, like California, the same person votes many times…Millions and millions of people.”
He told Meet the Press in 2019, “There were a lot of votes cast that I don’t believe…California admitted to a million votes” during the 2016 election.
He told Newsmax in 2021 that California’s Republican recall of Governor Newsom was “probably rigged.”
This is who Donald Trump is. A con man, a coward, and a bully. And his long con of undermining confidence in California elections is part of the same strategy that Trump used to incite the January 6 riot and Capitol insurrection.
That’s why we have to respond to Trump’s latest attack — because it’s not just an attack on Adam. It’s an attack on our entire system of government. Rush $10 now to help us respond.
We are in an existential fight for the future of our democracy.
On one side is Donald Trump and his MAGA cronies who would sacrifice anything — even the Constitution and our democracy — if it helped them return to power.
We have to stop them. Thanks for remaining by Adam’s side in this fight. There is none bigger when it comes to the future of our country.
