John, here’s
where we are right now:

As of this morning, Biden and Harris are leading in Michigan and
Wisconsin, with Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia all too close to
call. Arizona has been called for Biden by some networks and the
Associated Press, and while Nevada has not been called for Biden yet, he
is poised to win the state when the counting is done.

So… what does that mean? As long as we hold our leads in MI, WI, AZ, and
NV — and that looks likely — we win and Joe and Kamala head to the White
House.

Don’t relax, but you CAN at least start breathing again while we wait for
every vote to be counted.

The Senate is another matter. Our chances are less favorable, but not
impossible.

We picked up CO and AZ with Hickenlooper and Kelly each winning, and we
lost AL and ME with Doug Jones and Sara Gideon each coming up short.
That’s a net gain of 1 seat so far.

We need to net two more.

Cunningham (NC), Ossoff (GA), and Gross (AK) are all too close to call. We
could win or lose them all. We just won’t know until all the votes are
counted. Incumbent Democrat Gary Peters in MI is still too close to call
as well. However, if Biden/Harris continues to expand their lead in MI,
they’re likely to pull Peters over the top with them in the end. I’m
willing to say I believe Peters will keep his seat.

All of that is my analysis of the state of the nation at 1pm eastern the
day after, so just like the network pundits and pollsters, I could be dead
wrong about all of it.

What’s next?

Here’s what we know for sure: Progressive champion Rev. Raphael Warnock
will advance to a runoff in the Georgia Senate race against billionaire
Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler.

This runoff could decide the Senate majority.

The runoff election is scheduled for January 5, which means Rev. Warnock
has just over two months to sustain and grow a statewide campaign strong
enough to win just days after the New Year’s holiday and with no national
election to help drive the turnout.

It’s going to be a significant challenge to defeat a Trump-supporting
Republican who dumped $20 million in stock after receiving private
briefings about the danger of the coronavirus earlier this year and who’s
willing to spend that fortune to buy reelection.

Rev. Warnock can do it, but not without us and a strong outpouring of
grassroots support immediately to fund the campaign to win.

This race may be our last chance to flip the Senate. To win this runoff in
January, we need to deliver resources to Rev. Warnock NOW. Will you rush a
contribution between Rev. Warnock and DFA to kick off his runoff campaign
strong?

Sen. Kelly Loeffler has a vast personal fortune she can draw on to attack
Rev. Warnock, but even with all that money, she still came in second to
Warnock last night.

Yesterday, second was enough to get Sen. Loeffler in the runoff, but in
January she’ll need to place first to win.

It’s time to throw everything we’ve got — right now — to make sure Rev.
Warnock defeats her and we send a progressive Black man to Congress in her
place.

The fight for the Senate runs through Georgia and we won’t stop fighting
until we win.

Let’s do this.

— Charles
