[1]Democrats[2]Join us.
I wanted to take a minute to share an update with you on the work we’re doing here at the DNC. And no, this isn’t a fundraising request.
You may have seen this on the news, but right now, our team is laser-focused on what’s going on in Texas.
Instead of focusing on flood victims, Texas Republicans have hijacked a special legislative session to rig their map and save Donald Trump’s skin in the midterms. It’s unconstitutional, unethical, and an affront to your voting rights.
For too long, Republicans have ignored the rules to rig the system, scheme, and desperately hold onto power. It’s time to fight back. And we’re going to fight fire with fire.
For weeks, we’ve been warning that if Republicans in Texas want a showdown — if they want to delay flood relief to cravenly protect Donald Trump from an inevitable midterm meltdown — then we’ll give them that showdown.
That’s exactly what Texas Democrats did this week by blowing up Republicans’ sham special session.
The DNC is proud to support the Texas Democrats standing up and showing real leadership. We’re not afraid of any fight. I flew to Illinois to be with those Texas leaders and send a message to Republicans.. As I said then, there’s nothing more American than standing up to corruption and standing for the people. Because that’s what this boils down to: Republicans are fighting for power, Democrats are fighting for people.
And after this fight is done, we’re coming full force to win back Congress in the midterms.
This Republican attack on democracy may have started in Texas, but the threat to American voters doesn’t end there. Every day, Trump and his allies work to further strip away the rights and freedoms of working families across the country. We won't stand idly by while this happens.
My philosophy as DNC is Build to Win, Build to Expand, and Build to Last. We have to realign our thinking — and decisions — if we want the Democratic Party to truly compete, expand our map, and win the long-term power we need to improve lives.. We can’t tinker on the edges.. We need to compete everywhere and win everywhere. And as I always say, there’s no such thing as a permanent red state.
That’s what we’re doing at the DNC: fighting, building, winning.
I hope you’ll continue to stand alongside us as we continue this important work. Thank you for taking the time to read this message, and I’ll have more updates to share with you soon.
