Friends:


As the Democratic National Convention gets underway this weekend the movement to protect democracy from Donald Trump and his down ballot MAGA candidates is growing.


Veteran campaign strategist and former Republican Reed Galen breaks down recent polling on Greg Sargent’s podcast. These polls show growing excitement about pro-democracy candidates among Republicans and Independents. And while many had long-ago dismissed considering President Biden for re-election, these critical voters are now increasingly considering Vice President Harris and Governor Walz.

That momentum and optimism, polling shows, is also helping many down ballot pro-democracy candidates. And to no one’s surprise Donald Trump’s self-centered destructive ego seems to be helping.


Listen here: New polling shows shift among Republicans and Independents. Galen is president of Join The Union and a former Republican consultant who helped found The Lincoln Project.
