John —

I needed to take some time to process the former president’s statements
from over the weekend. There is no sugarcoating it: his words show just
how much our democracy remains at risk. And how big of a fight we have
ahead of us.

First, Donald Trump spread his usual conspiracy theories, disinformation,
and pure bile at a political rally. Attacking me personally, again, but
that was the least of it. Here’s what really mattered — he, blatantly,
dangled pardons for those who attacked the Capitol.

Then, later in the weekend, he issued a statement that he had expected
Mike Pence to overturn the 2020 election. “Unfortunately, he didn’t
exercise that power, he could have overturned the election!” Trump made it
clear again that he knew he lost and was intent on overturning the
results. His only regret about the violent attack on the Capitol appears
to be that it did not succeed.

And it’s never been more apparent: We’re not out of the woods yet. Not by
a long shot.

It can be said that Trump is saying the quiet part out loud. And that’s
true. But he’s never hidden his intentions. Not during the 2016 election.
Not during his impeachments. And certainly not now. We ignore him at our
peril.

Donald Trump is likely to run for election in 2024, and I fear that our
democracy could not take a second Trump presidency. Especially when it
barely survived the first. And since then, those who follow him have
become even less tethered to reality.

They believe our democracy is a sham. They think our elections are rigged
– but only if their side loses. And they believe every word Trump utters.
It’s dangerous.

This is the nightmare that will become reality if the GOP wins this
November. Because Trump will take that as a green light to run again. We
must do everything possible to ensure the GOP does not overtake our
razor-thin Blue Majority. If they do, we could see Trump’s goal of
overturning an election become reality.

I don’t say this lightly, but our democracy hinges on the results of the
election this November as much as it will in November of 2024.

Anything you can contribute — anything meaningful to you — can make a big
difference. Thanks for being a part of our fight.
