John — there’s a lot going on.
In times like these, no one could blame you for wanting to sit it out until 2028 when Democrats get our chance to take back the White House. But the data nerds all agree — Democrats can’t afford to wait that long.
Things have been looking bad for months. So please, let us explain how everything just changed in the last few weeks and why your support of $5 or more to elect Democrats is so important now — not just later.
Right now, Republicans control the Senate with a 53-47 majority. Nine months ago, the Senate map looked really tough, with only Maine and North Carolina being obvious flip opportunities in 2026 — and the 2028 map looked EVEN TOUGHER.
That meant even if we flipped both Senate seats next year, it was more than likely Democrats would have been stuck in the minority. And on top of that, Republicans in Texas and across the country are actively trying to rig their district maps for the House. Both situations meant even with a new Democratic president (Newsom, Ocasio-Cortez, Buttigieg, Harris, Beshear, Whitmer!) it was looking less and less likely like Democrats would have the majorities in Congress that they’d need to deliver for working families and restore our democracy.
BUT THEN DEMOCRATS STARTED FIGHTING BACK.

Now Republicans are on defense all over the country for both the House AND the Senate in 2026. If we can take either or both back in 2026, that means we won’t have to wait just until 2028 to restore our democracy — we’ll finally have the power in Congress that we need to grind Trump’s takeover of our country to a screeching halt.
But the oligarchs backing Trump know this too — they’re ALREADY writing million-dollar checks to prop up unpopular Republican incumbents across the country. That’s why Democrats can’t afford to sit it out until 2028 — we’ve got a democracy to save!
