Dear John,
He’s maybe the most dangerous politician of my lifetime. He’s helped transform the Republican Party into a cult, worshiping at the altar of authoritarianism. He’s damaged our country in ways that may take a generation to undo. The politician I’m talking about, of course, is…
...Mitch McConnell.
This is the man who refused for almost a year to allow the Senate to consider President Obama’s moderate Supreme Court pick Merrick Garland. This is the man who got rid of the age-old Senate rule requiring 60 Senators to agree on a Supreme Court nomination so he could ram through not one but two Supreme Court justices, including one with a likely history of sexual assault.
Even if Trump is gone, if the Senate remains in Republican hands and McConnell is reelected, America loses because McConnell will still have a choke hold on our democracy.
Our new video explains all the ways McConnell has damaged our country.

Getting Mitch McConnell out of office is just as important as defeating Trump.

Wherever you are in the country, you can donate to McConnell’s challengers. If you live in or near Kentucky, you can get out and knock doors or make calls. Or if you have friends or family in the state, encourage them to get involved.
As to the question of who is worse, Trump or McConnell — the answer is that it’s too close to call. The two of them have degraded and corrupted American democracy. Trump has to go, but so does McConnell.
We need them both out.
Thanks for watching,
Robert Reich
