* 12 days before Election Day, over 1.2 million voters in Massachusetts have cast their ballots by mail or early in person. With thousands more voting every day, it’s Election Day from now until November 3.
* A record number of 1.4 million voters turned out to vote for Democrats in September’s primary because there was more than one way to cast a ballot--and we’re on track to see historic turnout again this November.
* Massachusetts Democrats have doubled get out vote efforts in historically underrepresented communities, are supporting critical battleground states, and have launched a voter protection team through the MobilizeMA coordinated campaign.
* Your vote is your voice, and the message is loud and clear: voter’s are ready for a brighter, better future. Donald Trump and his Republican allies in Massachusetts will try everything they can to keep us from the ballot box, so we must deliver a decisive victory for Democrats down the ballot.

TONIGHT: Presidential Debate

Tonight at 9 PM, Joe Biden will participate in the final presidential debate in Nashville. Tune in on any major news network to watch or stream the debate on Youtube here ([link removed]) .
* During the debate, Joe Biden will speak directly to the American people about his plan to contain COVID-19 and to build our country back better.
* Trump will talk about everything but the job he’s done as president over the past four years.
+ Whatever Trump says tonight, it won’t explain away four years of failed leadership — from botching the COVID response to plunging the country into a recession.
* Voters live in a world defined by Trump’s failures to protect the nation.
+ More than 8 million Americans have been infected by COVID-19.
+ 12 million Americans are unemployed.
+ 1 in 5 small businesses have closed their doors.
* Voters know Joe Biden — they know his character, his empathy, and his leadership.
+ Biden understands the issues facing working families, and will fight for them.
* Voters know that Trump isn’t fighting for them. He’s putting the super-wealthy and corporations first, and failing to address the crises impacting our country.
