Friend – It’s been 24 hours since Donald Trump announced he was once again running for president, and the responses that we’ve seen are inspiring.
We know what happens when Democrats organize and get behind candidates that invest in building a stronger, safer country. This is the momentum that helped us flip and protect battleground AG seats in 2022, win back the House in 2018, and the White House and the Senate in 2020. It’s a reminder of why the work we do is so important, especially in the face of the dangerous rhetoric that former President Trump espoused during his announcement – and the harmful actions he took the first time he was elected.
Democratic AGs fought Trump every single month of his presidency in court – including suing him and his administration more than 130 times for their unlawful actions that hurt our country.
Today, we’re asking for your support in our effort to win critical Dem AG elections in 2022. We need every ally for democracy that we can get because the biggest threat to democracy we’ve seen in our lifetime is running for president again.

Subject: Donald Trump is officially running for president in 2024.
By now I’m sure you’ve heard the news: Donald Trump is officially running for president in 2024.
And while I feel a great deal of fear for our country, I’m reminded of why I wake up every day to work to elect leaders who will not only protect this country, but make it a better place for families like yours and mine.
Because in the face of harmful leaders like Donald Trump, we have no choice but to respond to his attempts to incite dangerous violence, hatred, and vitriol with an even greater sense of purpose, belief, and collective determination that we will not let him and his extremist allies win again.
After he lost the 2020 election, Donald Trump (desperately) attempted to hold on to power by any means necessary. Part of his strategy involved leaning on state Attorneys General across the country, in hopes that he could convince them to overturn the election results in their states and at the Supreme Court. Republican AGs and candidates across the country have lined up to grovel at Trump’s feet, hoping for his approval and for an endorsement. I can say this to you for certain: Democratic AGs will always put the law and our country first.
This year, Trump aggressively campaigned in some of the swing states he targeted for his coup in 2020, including Michigan, Nevada and Arizona. His endorsed candidates in these states are dangerous leaders – in or out of office – who are threatening our next presidential election and the future of our country. We can never stop fighting their lies and underhanded tactics, no matter if there is an election going on or not.
There’s no question that protecting these states will be a challenging task, but with your help, we can fight our way to victory. Donald Trump has an army of resources, connections, and deep pocket supporters that he is leaning on to help support him. We need to match that energy with digital and television ads, and organizing that will win races nationwide.
