John,
When we launched National Ground Game PAC in the aftermath of the Harris campaign’s 2024 loss the Democratic base appeared burnt out, defeated, and stuck in a state of paralysis.
But when Trump appointed two Florida members of Congress to his cabinet triggering special elections, we saw an opportunity to reignite our movement and get us back in the fight.
Whereas it took the DNC until a week before the April 1st Florida Special Elections to take notice of the momentum and to begin sending limited resources to help move votes in FL-01 and FL-06, National Ground Game PAC was on the ground in Florida starting in early January.
It is no exaggeration to say that the momentum in the FL-01 and FL-06 special elections that resulted in a 22 point and 16 point swing left, respectively, was built by our supporters who believed—before most folks did—that a strong, assertive opposition against Trump’s authoritarian moves would resonate deeply even in traditionally “red” districts.
But now we find ourselves faced with the same fractured media information hellscape as we were in 2024 - one dominated by MAGA propaganda sources, fake news sites, and podcasters devoted to polluting young minds. If we are to make bigger impacts everywhere this year and in the 2026 Midterms, we absolutely have to take on the right-wing media machine.
That is why we are launching our new initiative, The Unfuck America Tour, to get in the space where there is a void of left-leaning and common sense voices and fight back against the MAGA machine that has been indoctrinating young voters for years now without any pushback.
