Theresa Greenfield

 John, If we’re going to take back the Senate this November, we need to flip four seats from red to blue, and Iowa is one of our key opportunities. Progressive Democrat and “farm kid” Theresa Greenfield is going up against GOP incumbent Joni Ernst, and a new poll this week shows that Ernst’s popular…

Marie Newman’s primary is in less than two weeks

 John, Yesterday, Yvette reached out to you about the latest Republican lawsuit trying to wipe out Roe v. Wade in the Supreme Court.

It’s a whole new race

 John, now that Super Tuesday is over, it’s a whole new race today. There’s no doubt Joe Biden had a big night yesterday, taking home wins in states nobody expected him to.

Another fake Democrat we can replace with a progressive woman
