The pundits can spin all they want, but Tuesday night's elections told a simple truth: voters everywhere are fed up with the Trump economy.
And that's exactly why Democrats who focused on affordability – on making life easier for workers, on lowering costs, on protecting jobs – won big across the board. They didn't dodge it or make excuses. They met it head-on.
From winning two statewide races in Georgia to breaking the Republican supermajority in the Mississippi State Senate for the first time in a long time, these are real gains in hard-to-win places.
At One Country Project, we've been tracking widespread economic frustration all year. Our data shows what families in rural communities have been saying for a long time: life keeps getting harder and harder to afford.
Groceries. Gas. Health care. Housing. Wages that don't stretch as far as they used to. The Trump economy is squeezing working people while the wealthy few get richer by the minute.
Now it's time to turn Tuesday's campaign rhetoric into real action for everyday Americans. We're helping Democrats understand what's really happening in small towns, what issues are moving voters, and how to build an economy that finally works for everyone – not just those at the very top.
If you agree that the path forward starts with affordability and accountability, stand with us. It's not complicated – when working Americans are thriving, all of America is thriving.
