John, if you need any indication of how far to the right Trump has dragged the Republican Party, consider for a moment the results of last night’s Senate primary in North Carolina.

Pat McCrory, the former GOP governor running for Senate, lost. Bear in mind, his term included:

Signing a transphobic “bathroom bill” into law
Banning sanctuary cities
Cutting emergency food assistance for undocumented people
Reducing unemployment benefits
Restricting abortion
And failing to concede the election he lost in 2016 until nearly a month later

And yet, that guy LOST... because Republicans labeled him as “too liberal” and a “RINO.” No, I’m not kidding.

Instead, Trump’s MAGA base nominated his handpicked candidate, House Freedom Caucus member and local gun store owner Rep. Ted Budd, to run against Democratic nominee Cheri Beasley.

If you’re already convinced that we need to support Cheri’s campaign in North Carolina with everything we’ve got, you can split a donation between her campaign and ours now. But if you’re not convinced yet, please read on. This is a compelling race with an historic candidate — and strong indications that we can win.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation to Adam Schiff and Cheri Beasley will go through immediately:

Before running for Senate, Cheri made history as the first Black woman ever to serve as Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court. And polling has her neck-and-neck with the Republican in this race.

Not only that, Cheri has pledged her support for abolishing the filibuster so that we can codify Roe v. Wade, protect voting rights, and defend our democracy.

You know the stakes. Both our House and Senate majorities are on the line. Ever since Donald Trump left office, Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell have embraced the far-right and invested hundreds of millions of dollars to gain control of Congress.

Trump has already rallied voters in North Carolina, attacking me personally to rouse them into a fury, and there’s no doubt he’ll be back in the coming months to repeatedly attack Cheri’s campaign. Ensuring she has the resources to respond to Trump’s attacks and McConnell’s Super PAC is crucial to helping her win — that’s why today needs to be a big day for her campaign.

John, can you split a $10 donation today between Cheri Beasley’s campaign and ours to help us protect and expand our Democratic majorities?
