Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight

  Control of the Senate is still on the line. Two competitive seats are on the ballot in the January runoffs in Georgia — and, as you know, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris cannot fully undo the damage that the Trump Administration has done to our country without a Democratic Senate. That’…

Georgia

  This election isn’t over. The Senate majority is still up for grabs — and a recent poll shows Reverend Raphael Warnock locked in a statistical tie with his Republican opponent in Georgia. That’s why I’m asking you to split a contribution between Rev. Warnock’s campaign and our work …

Georgia and the fate of the Senate

  Election Day may be behind us, but this Senate race in Georgia is far from over. The future of the Senate is at stake — and we expect an unprecedented full-frontal attack on my campaign from the Republican Party. Let me be clear: The road to flipping the Senate runs right through Ge…

I need your help in Georgia

  I really need your help: We need to wire $50,000 to the TV stations to keep our brand-new runoff ads on the air — but right now, we're falling just short. Election experts from Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight to The New York Times are saying that this race will decide Senate control. …

We need a fair fight

  We have a lot to celebrate with the victory of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. But, in Georgia, we still have a runoff election on January 5 that could decide which party will hold the Senate majority. Mitch McConnell’s Senate majority has blocked …

Georgia and the fate of the Senate →

The path to a Senate majority runs through Georgia   My U.S. Senate race against GOP Sen. David Perdue in Georgia is headed to a January 5 runoff. And if I don’t win, Mitch McConnell and the GOP will keep their Senate majority. Chip in $10 to win the Senate majority: If you've …

All eyes on Georgia

  I'm in the fight of my life against Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler to flip Georgia's Senate seat blue. What happens here could determine whether Democrats are able to secure Senate control and enact our bold agenda. I urgently need your help to win this race — but before I ask you …

  From the beginning, this campaign has been about what we can do to work together, find common ground, and get results for the good of Minnesota and our country. Even in the midst of the great division and great challenges of this past year, I’ve always felt that Minnesotans at hear…

  When we first launched this campaign, the political pundits largely ignored our race, saying Minnesota’s Senate election wouldn’t be competitive — that my seat was safe. Well, they were wrong. A few months into this election, Donald Trump announced his plan to pour millions of dolla…
