Julián Castro

  There’s been another HUGE shift in the presidential race, John --  Yesterday morning, Julián Castro dropped out of the 2020 primary -- just weeks after Kamala Harris dropped out, too.  Meanwhile, the top candidates in this election announced huge fundraising hauls this week, includi…

Good news first, then the bad

  Good news: Democratic Senate candidates are surging nationwide and entering 2020 in a very strong position to win back control of the Senate from Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump.  Bad news: Try as we might, our fundraising numbers have been a bit slower than expected this week and …

Why $4?

  John -- we’re asking you to donate just $4 before tonight’s FEC fundraising deadline at midnight. Want to know why?  Because Democrats only need to flip FOUR seats to take the Senate majority in 2020 -- and Republicans are playing defense in states like Colorado, Maine, North Caroli…

  One final update for the day, John -- We are still tracking a bit behind on our year-end FEC fundraising goal to support Flip the Senate’s team in battleground states across the country.  We think we can still get there, but it’s going to be close -- really close.  Your donation of …

  John -- we’ve got some bad news to share:  Donations really slowed down over the weekend, and we’re concerned we might fall short on our year-end fundraising goal.  But wait, there’s good news! We still have two days left to close the gap, and we know we can do it if you step up tod…

2020

  John --  We’re finally closing the books on 2019 tomorrow, so we wanted to remind you of a few recent developments:  Independent polling out of Arizona puts Democrat Mark Kelly ahead of his GOP opponent 47-44%;   Another poll from South Carolina showed Republican Lindsey Graham wit…

We are so close

  John -- Here’s the deal: we’re behind on our year-end fundraising goal of collecting 10,000 individual donations from grassroots Democrats, and we’re running out of time to get it done. But, we are actually quite close -- close enough that your donation could be the one that gets us…

  John -- We’re writing on behalf of our entire team at Flip the Senate to ask you to make a donation to our campaign to take on Mitch McConnell and help Democrats win back the Senate majority in 2020. But sometimes a donation is more than a donation. Let me explain: Every single mome…

Looks like we’re short

  John -- Here’s the truth about Tuesday’s FEC deadline: The money matters, but it’s more important for us to show the Republicans just how fired up Democrats across the country are to Flip the Senate in 2020.  Why? Because they are going to come at us with everything they’ve got in J…

About Trump’s endorsement of Susan Collins

  John -- here’s a critical update in our fight to Flip the Senate:  President Trump just announced he’s endorsing Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine -- one of our top 2020 opponents!  Trump’s endorsement is a huge boost to Collins’ re-election. It means she now has Trump’s cam…

Failure is not an option

  The problem: Our fundraising numbers have slowed this week while McConnell’s network of right-wing billionaires steamrolls its way to raising nearly $200 million to attack Democratic Senate candidates.  Why that matters: Democrats have expanded the map in recent months, forcing Repu…
