oh no

  john, this is Debbie Mucarsel-Powell in Florida. This is NOT the news I needed today. Until a few minutes ago, I was riding high: we reached our EOQ goal, my first ads were on the air, and the polls showed the tides clearly turning in our favor. So this was a humbling wake-up call.…

Texas & Florida

  john, As Vice-Chair of the Senate Dems’ campaign arm, I’m hard at work defending our Democratic incumbents across the country. But I’m also doing all I can to flip some Senate seats from red to blue — including those in Florida and Texas. Chip in $2 to support my work in these state…

  john, our final mid-month fundraising deadline of the election cycle is coming up in a few days. This is one of our last grassroots fundraising benchmarks — and we need to hit our goal if we want to reach the voters we need to win the Democratic Senate majority. The good news is thi…

Three reasons why your support is crucial

I want to be honest with you, john

Lisa’s record speaks for itself.   Hi john, Cory Booker here. I am so excited to watch my good friend Lisa seeking to make history as the first woman and person of color to represent Delaware in the Senate. But before I explain why Lisa will make an incredible Senator, I’m hoping you’…

Rachel Maddow just called out our opponent

The harsh reality

  This is Tammy Baldwin. My team just shared some urgent news with me, john: Mitch McConnell’s super PAC just announced a massive $17 million ad buy targeting my campaign in Wisconsin. Here’s the harsh reality: McConnell wouldn’t spend this sum of money so close to Election Day unless…

Fired up

  john, we have just ONE MONTH until Election Day. I’m fired up and ready to support Democrats up and down the ballot — but the GOP certainly isn’t making it easy. The ultra-wealthy candidates recruited by Mitch McConnell to run against Dem incumbents are spending big to flip these se…

two tied polls

This is now the second poll that shows this race is tied.   john, this is Angela Alsobrooks in Maryland. I’ve got some bad news to share: The National Republican Senatorial Committee just released a poll that shows me TIED with Larry Hogan. What’s even worse is we’re currently $6,090 …

Putting a puzzle together

The housing crisis

JD Vance’s lies on the debate stage.

My opponent’s extreme views

  john, this is Amy Klobuchar. My opponent Royce White’s extreme views are out of step with the Minnesota we know and love: He’s an election denier. He thinks “women have become too mouthy.” He says the far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and an architect of January 6th Steve Ba…

Undefeated, just like the Minnesota Vikings 💜

Kamala Harris supports eliminating the Senate filibuster to restore reproductive freedoms. I agree.

  john — Vice President Kamala Harris recently told reporters that she wants to do away with the Senate filibuster in order to restore reproductive freedoms. I couldn’t agree more — that’s why we need to send her to the White House and elect a Democratic Senate majority to work alongs…

Florida's race will be an inflection point

Rick Scott stands in direct opposition to everything that really makes America great.   Good morning, john. This is Ken Burns. Between the last 50-or-so years I’ve spent bringing our past to life in film, and the present stakes facing our fragile, 248-year-old experiment this fall, I …

We need to protect IVF

  john, when someone shows you who they really are, believe them. No better example than Republicans in the Senate. Once again, most of Tina’s GOP colleagues in the Senate voted against protecting in-vitro fertilization — even as they claim to support the practice. Even as they say t…

You can’t make this stuff up

Donald Trump is resorting to childish nicknames and schoolyard taunts in his desperate attempt to flip Nevada red.   john, this is Jacky Rosen. Donald Trump hosted a MAGA rally in Nevada to attack me by name and applaud my right-wing opponent, Sam Brown. After Trump singled out Nevada…

Alarming news
