Jack, this is one time I'm happy to admit that Mitch McConnel was right—the GOP's Senate candidates suck.

In case you missed it, McConnell admitted back in the summer that Republicans may miss their chance to win back the Senate majority because of poor "candidate quality." (Translation: A bunch of creeps, oddballs, and right-wing extremists won GOP primaries in must-win states because Trump endorsed them.) And, wow, McConnell's concerns about "candidate quality" have never been more evident that this week:
  • In Pennsylvania—a Republican-held open seat where Daily Kos-endorsed Democrat John Fetterman was already ahead in the polls—Republican candidate and washed-up daytime TV "star" (the latter of which obviously made him a Trump favorite) was discovered to have literally killed puppies in animal experiments.
  • In Wisconsin, Republican incumbent Ron Johnson downplayed the January 6 attack and then sadly tried to walk it back by claiming his comments were taken out of context.
  • In Georgia, Republican nominee Herschel Walker—who supports a federal abortion ban—was discovered to have paid for a woman's abortion, denied knowing who the woman was, and then was revealed to have fathered a child with the woman he said he didn't know.
Daily Kos has identified these THREE Republican-held seats as races that could flip from red to blue this fall. Winning them would CRUSH Mitch McConnell's dream of retaking the Senate majority and expand the Democratic majority, making Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema irrelevant next year. That's why I'm asking you to donate $3 to each of these three Daily Kos-endorsed Democrats running for Senate right now.

DONATE

Thank you,
