Trump's coming to New Hampshire. (#NH)
Susan Collins must go. (#ME)

After his disastrous rally in Tulsa that left his own staffers infected with coronavirus, Trump’s holding yet another one of his super-spreader events, this time in New Hampshire, just minutes from our border.
* With over 3 million cases and 130,000 lives lost to COVID-19, Donald Trump’s poll numbers are slipping, and he’s decided it’s time to resume his infamous campaign rallies.
* Trump’s Tulsa rally was a public health disaster. No masks, no social distancing, and no less than 6 staffers to the President tested positive before Trump even took the stage. Now, he’s at it again right next door in New Hampshire.
* Here in Massachusetts, we’re just starting to contain this virus, but COVID-19 doesn’t stop at state lines. The progress we’ve made will be jeopardized by Trump and his followers ignoring the proven precautions experts have outlined.
* Trump has always put poll numbers and and profits before the American people, and we’re suffering dire consequences. We can’t afford another four years of Donald Trump--that's why the MassDems started MobilizeMA, a coordinated battleground state effort to help Democrats win across New England. ([link removed])


Maine is the key to flipping the Senate. If we want to keep Mitch McConnell from further destroying our democracy, this has to be Susan Collins’ last term. That’s why we’re all doing our part to #DefeatCollins in November.
* Susan Collins has spent the past 4 years propping up the Trump agenda. She first made national headlines when she cast a decisive vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
* She won’t say if she’s supporting Donald Trump this November, but he’s 100% behind her. She votes with him when the stakes are high: Kavanaugh, impeachment, and countless other decisions that don’t make national news.
* Recent polls say that Collins is in trouble, but Mitch McConnell knows that holding on to Collins’ seat is the only way he keeps his majority in the Senate. She’s got the entire Trump/McConnell war chest on her side.
* For the first time in 3 decades, Maine Democrats have the largest registered voting bloc in the state, and high turnout in their 7/14 primary would show Trump, McConnell, and Collins that Democrats are energized and ready to defeat Collins in November.
* That’s why MassDems are helping the Maine Democrats make sure voters are ready to turn out next Tuesday. Join our Week of Action right now. ([link removed])
