That’s the bad news. But there’s good news, too—and it’s big.
Democrats are winning.
All across the country—in red states, blue states, and everything in between—we’re overperforming in special elections. In 2025 alone, we’ve already overperformed or won in 25 key races.
-
In Omaha, John Ewing Jr. just became the city’s first Black mayor—and the first Democrat to win in a decade.
- In South Carolina, Keishan Scott kept House District 50 blue in a decisive win.
- In San Antonio, Gina Ortiz Jones beat a dark-money, right-wing candidate to become mayor.
And the American people are not buying Trump’s billionaire-first agenda:
- Just 25% of voters think the tax bill will help their families.
- 3 in 4 oppose cuts to Medicaid—including
53% of Republicans.
- And 65% of non-college-educated voters—a group we need to win—say they know someone on Medicaid, including
1 in 3 who rely on it themselves.
Meanwhile, Trump’s approval rating is tanking.
-
55% disapprove of his job performance.
- On the economy—his so-called strength—he’s underwater by 16 points.
Here’s the truth:
Trump has only been back in office 140 days and already, voters are experiencing deep buyer’s remorse. Now is the moment to strike. We have to meet voters where they are and show them a better path—one that puts working families first.
That’s why we’re launching the No Talk Without Action organizing plan. But we can’t do it without you.
