Today Mitch McConnell admitted that he is “highly unlikely” to let any of President Biden’s Supreme Court nominations be confirmed in 2023 or 2024 if Republicans take back the Senate.
This should be a wake-up call for the entire Democratic Party that our democracy is at risk.
We cannot wait for a Republican Party in open defiance of democracy to join us in fixing it. We need to pass the For the People Act NOW.
Mitch McConnell has already stolen two Supreme Court seats. After President Biden was sworn in he said that 100% of his focus is on blocking the president’s agenda.
He will stop at nothing to accumulate power for himself and Republicans. He does not care about rules or precedents. He simply uses his power to further his extreme ideological agenda.
We need to protect our democracy by ending the filibuster and passing the For the People Act. That means we need Senators Manchin and Sinema on-board as soon as possible. Can you help us turn up the pressure?
In 2020 we fought so hard to win the House, the Senate, and the White House. But with our agenda being held up by McConnell and our democracy being attacked every day, we need Democrats to act with urgency to protect it.
