We prevented a "red wave" and now need to finish the job and secure Democratic control of the Senate by winning the runoff in Georgia.
Dear MoveOn member,
Last night was a WIN. By turning out in huge numbers, voters rejected the MAGA agenda and helped prevent the Republican dream of a "red wave." Now, with control of Congress uncertain, we have the opportunity to finish the work of this election and hold on to a Democratic Senate.
Over the next few days and even weeks, we must demand that election officials count every vote to accurately determine each race. Getting every vote counted is worth fighting and waiting for.
Now, we are turning our people-powered engines full-blast toward a Georgia Senate runoff. In just under four weeks, we'll have the chance to reelect the exceptional Senator Raphael Warnock in what could determine control of the Senate, the future of President Biden's agenda, and the political landscape of the next two years leading into the 2024 election.
What we accomplished has been remarkable. History predicted the party in the White House losing both chambers, and polls and pundits agreed. We faced extreme gerrymandering concocted by Republican partisans and approved by right-wing judges—redistricting schemes without which the Republicans wouldn't have made the gains they have in the House of Representatives. Massive disinformation, voter suppression efforts, and dark money from right-wing and corporate donors flooded our democracy and battered our candidates.
Yet, people-powered get-out-the-vote activities helped the majority of Americans—for we are the majority—hold the line in critical states, sending a blow to election-overthrowing, voter-suppressing, abortion access-removing, freedoms-restricting MAGA hacks who want to take our country backwards. We powered victories in the Senate, House, and governors' races, and voters supported abortion rights on the ballot across the country.
We won’t pretend it’s all rosy: Democrats have lost seats, candidates who inspired us have had to concede, and MAGA election deniers will continue to haunt elected offices throughout our government. However, in the face of the ongoing attacks by dangerous, corrupt MAGA Republicans who seek to snatch power at all costs, the good news is real: We prevented the red wave—and our country will be better off for it.
And just look at some of our victories from last night:
- John Fetterman won Pennsylvania's Senate race.
- Democrats won close races for House seats—turning the predicted "red wave" of a 40-seat Republican victory into a red trickle ... with control of the House still to be determined.
- Voters came out in droves in the electoral battlegrounds—and helped protect reproductive rights across five statewide ballot initiatives.
- In Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, pro-democracy gubernatorial victories will be a xxxxxx against MAGA attempts to undermine the next presidential election .
Now, as we wait for results from Arizona, Nevada, and elsewhere, we know the Georgia runoff may determine control of the Senate.
Thanks for all you do,
—Rahna, Dan, Nita, Chris, and the rest of the team
Want to support MoveOn's work? Voters just defied history and stopped a MAGA wave of extremism at the polls. But there is more work to do to end the filibuster, codify abortion rights into law, and defend our freedoms, our families, and our futures. We can accomplish all this and more, but only if we work together.
