You need to see this headline, John:

Despite the pandemic, or frankly, maybe because of it, Democrats across the country have the momentum right now in the race to flip the Senate. If we defeat Trump and flip just 3 seats in November, we will end Mitch McConnnell’s control over the U.S. Senate.

Republicans know it too. That’s why McConnell’s super PAC allies are writing huge checks to try to preserve his hold on the Senate gavel. They just booked $67 million in ads attacking Democrats in targeted states.

What’s more, nearly $20 million of that money is going to be spent trying to tear down two-DFA endorsed progressive champions with real shots of flipping their Republican-held seats: Theresa Greenfield in Iowa and Betsy Sweet in Maine.

Republicans are scared because they know Theresa and Betsy, both strong Democrats running aggressive campaigns, can win these purple states with the support of voters in-state and the grassroots nationwide.

If I were a Republican, I’d be worried too, because as long as we step up in support today, we’re going to send Republicans Joni Ernst and Susan Collins packing.

We can defeat McConnell’s super PAC with people-powered voter contact -- online, on the phone and on the air -- with your help by splitting a contribution between Theresa, Betsy and DFA immediately:

This is a difficult time for so many of us, and it’s hard to think about elections while we’re all just trying to keep ourselves and our families safe and healthy.

The problem is that the election will happen in November whether we like it or not. And it doesn’t take more than 5 minutes of watching Trump’s incompetent and dangerous handling of this crisis to be reminded of exactly how important winning in November is for the safety of us all.

That’s why despite these tough and scary times, we have to stay focused, contribute, take action, volunteer online, call voters… do everything we can to win up and down the ballot nationwide.

We will win in November, defeat Trump and flip the Senate, but only if we do it together. Thank you for stepping up at this critical time.
