Dear Friends,

This morning Simon has posted some thoughts on how Democrats should proceed in selling the Biden agenda and working to keep our majorities next fall.

The bottom line – we remain optimistic about 2022, and would still rather be us than them. 

This new analysis relies heavily on other work done over the past few months, some of which you can find below. Catch Simon live talking about the insights from this post tomorrow, Friday, November 5^th, at 2pm ET over Zoom.  RSVP here – do join us if you can.

Memo: 3 Reasons Why 2022 Won’t Be 2010 - In a new memo about the current political landscape and the 2022 elections, Simon offers three reasons why, despite Biden's current polling dip, the 2022 mid-terms are likely to be much more competitive than conventional wisdom holds right now.

Memo: Time for Dems To Come Together - Since the debate over the President's post-ARP agenda began, the President's approval rating has dropped almost 15 points, endangering Dem 2022 election prospects.  It is time now for all Democrats to come together and end this debilitating, rancorous period.

Memo: A Fall To Do List for Democrats - COVID, A Growing Economy, Climate, Immigration - In a new memo, Simon writes that Democrats have four priorities this fall - defeat COVID/improve health care, creating an economy which works for all, tackle climate change and modernize our an immigration system. 

Some Initial Thoughts on the 2021 Elections - Simon is up with some initial thoughts about the 2021 election, and what Dems need to do now - get reconciliation passed, refocus on defeating COVID and securing the recovery, and start selling the rest of the agenda in the spring/summer. 

Memo: 2022 Dem Election Narrative Begins to Take Shape - An early version of a possible Dem election narrative has begun to emerge - Dems tackle the big challenges, GOP too radical and extreme to once again trust with power.

5m Biden Jobs, Twice As Many As Bushes, Trump Combined - More jobs have been created in Joe Biden's first 8 months than in Presidencies of the two Bushes and Trump combined.  Repeated Dem successes, repeated GOP failures must become better known in our politics. 

Memo: A Stronger Response To Delta Is Required Now - In a new political memo, Simon reviews recent polling data and finds rising fears over delta, and growing support in the public for aggressive steps to stop its spread.  The President should seize the moment and launch a stepped up campaign to defeat COVID once and for all.
