Wednesday night was a tough loss.
Democrats put voting rights legislation on the floor of the United States Senate. And when all 50 Republican senators lined up against it, we tried to block their filibuster. Then we came up short, by two votes.
But I’m not giving up. The stakes are too high. And here’s the way I see it:
- Every single Republican senator is now on the record opposing widely popular legislation to protect free and fair elections. So we will make sure everyone knows what they just did. They will need to defend those votes.
- We had 48 Democratic votes to get around the filibuster, so we know exactly how to win down the road: elect two more Democratic senators who support filibuster reform.
In the days, weeks, and months ahead, I will keep pushing in every way I can to protect the right to vote and the right to have that vote counted.
We didn’t want to be here. We wanted to have the Freedom to Vote Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act already in the bag. But this is the fight that’s in front of us, and this is the uphill path we can take to protect our democracy. Me? I’m going up that hill.
Tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that, we get right back up and get right back in the fight to defend our democracy.
Can you pitch in to support our campaign and help expand our Democratic Senate majority? $3 or any amount you can chip in would make a real difference right now. [[link removed]]
