John —

Just moments ago, Mitch McConnell announced he is stepping down as Republican leader in the Senate this November.

This is a big deal: For more than 15 years, McConnell has worked to sabotage both President Obama and Biden’s agenda as the Senate GOP leader.

He will be remembered for trying to overturn the Affordable Care Act, installing Trump’s handpicked justices to a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court, and steamrolling the GOP’s extreme agenda through the Senate.

It’s time we turn the page on his politics.

We are now entering a new fight: With Donald Trump as the de-facto leader and Republicans getting more radical by the day, there’s no telling how much more extreme the next Republican leader will be.

Someone like Ted Cruz.

Or Rick Scott.

Or Josh Hawley.

The November 2024 election could decide which party controls the Senate majority for years to come. We need all hands on deck to support vulnerable Democrats and win in swing races everywhere.

On the heels of this huge announcement, will you rush in $10 (becomes $40) to help Defend the Senate against all of the GOP’s attacks? A generous group of donors is QUADRUPLING the first $25,000 in gifts until our deadline tomorrow night >>
