Let’s seize this momentum and ensure that this blue wave becomes a flood.
Dear Lincoln Loyal Member,
If you are celebrating tonight, you should be! Because tonight, we didn’t just win; we sent a thunderous message that the American electorate is rejecting MAGA chaos.
What a great night for democracy!
Across the country, voters delivered decisive victories that prove our movement is strong and our values—affordability, community, and basic rights—are winning:
VIRGINIA: ABIGAIL SPANBERGER WINS GOVERNOR. In a critical swing state, we flipped the governorship and elected the Commonwealth’s first woman Governor, proving that centrist, pro-democracy leadership can beat the culture war extremism of the MAGA movement.
NEW JERSEY: MIKIE SHERRILL WINS GOVERNOR. The Garden State doubled down on progress, denying the Trump-backed challenger a path back to power and keeping the Governor’s mansion firmly in Democratic hands.
NEW YORK CITY: ZOHRAN MAMDANI WINS MAYOR. From the nation’s largest city, the voters chose a progressive vision focused on the working class, affordability, and justice, emphatically rejecting the politics of personal grievance, division, and authoritarianism.
This Is the National Story: Chaos Is Not Working and our Pro-democracy movement is winning.
Tonight’s sweep is more than just a local tally—it’s a clear referendum on the chaos, cruelty, and anti-democratic rhetoric coming from the current administration. Voters are fed up. They are rejecting the divisive culture wars and choosing leaders who are focused on kitchen-table issues like the cost of groceries, rent freezes, and keeping utility bills affordable.
The overwhelming feeling of the electorate is clear: they want a functional, inclusive democracy, and they are using their power at the ballot box to stop the MAGA administration’s march toward authoritarianism. Our strategy is working. Our message is connecting. We are winning.
But Now, Let’s Step up our fight!
We know that when they lose, they don’t retreat—they rage.
The Trump administration and its allies are already planning to escalate their rhetoric, double down on authoritarian policies, and threaten the very fabric of our institutions. They will attack the legitimacy of these wins and try to silence the voices of the working class and progressive voters who turned out tonight.
We cannot allow this victory to be an endpoint; it must be a launchpad.
The only way to fight back against this inevitable surge of anger and power is to turn our volume up and grow our grassroots efforts immediately.
