Hey Swing Left,

We’ve turned our grief into action. After Mitch McConnell callously threatened to fill Justice Ginsburg’s Supreme Court seat, grassroots donors shattered fundraising records by giving more than $100 million since Friday night, mostly to Senate candidates.

But we have to make sure dollars are going where they matter most—millions of dollars is one thing, but millions of dollars into the most strategic races that need it most could change this election. That’s why we’ve updated the Immediate Impact Fund—and now it includes one of the closest and most consequential Senate races on our map: Democrat Jaime Harrison’s bid to unseat Republican Lindsey Graham.

With 43 days left, candidates are almost out of time to spend these dollars effectively. Give today to defeat Graham, flip the Senate, and support Democrats in critical state house races—every dollar goes directly to our 12 target candidates.

Graham chairs the powerful Senate Judiciary committee. Any new nominee has to go through him. He taunted Democrats when he blocked Obama’s Supreme Court appointment in 2016:

Now, Graham’s hypocrisy and flip-flops are costing him: Jaime Harrison has been surging and is *tied* with Graham in recent polling. We’re also adding two other close Senate races to the fund: MJ Hegar is running to defeat John Cornyn in Texas and Barbara Bollier is running to win an open seat in Kansas. By channeling dollars into these three races, we can make sure this blatant power grab costs McConnell his majority.

The Immediate Impact Fund is dynamic, and we update it regularly to make sure we're always directing donations to the closest races where funds can make the biggest difference. That means we’re constantly adding state legislative race targets to the slate based on which candidates need our support most. Democratic wins in these races are the most likely to flip control of state house and senate chambers—and supporting these down ballot candidates will help boost turnout for the Senate and presidential races in these Super States, too.

Give now to split a donation in these 12 races where our contributions can make the biggest difference. 100% of your donation goes to these candidates.

Let’s keep up the pressure,

— Ethan, Catherine, Tori, and the Swing Left Team
