We're not gonna sugar-coat this — it's been a rough week for Democrats.
In 2020, President Biden won Virginia by 10 points. This week, Democrat Terry McAuliffe lost the Virginia governor's race by over 2 points. It's a major setback, but what concerns me is that this could be only the beginning.
The extremist wing of the GOP is using racist dog whistles, fanning the flames of a culture war, and paying for vicious lies to cultivate a false narrative of Democrats. And it's working.
It'll keep working unless we do something about it.
Look, we're profoundly upset that a Trump-curious liar just won the race for governor.
But we're not going to rehash an election that's already said and done. We're turning our attention to the fights ahead, if we don't, things will go from bad to worse real fast.
The midterms do not have to be a bloodbath for Democrats. If every single one of us steps up right now to protect our House (and our country) from the GOP's destructive lies, we can win the era.
