the confirmation charade begins tomorrow and Lindsey Graham is in charge

Victory Now PAC Tomorrow, just 22 days before the election, Lindsey Graham will kick-off the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing of Amy Coney Barrett as he attempts to rush through the confirmation of Trump's rigidly ideological right-wing nominee to the Supreme Court. Make no mistake; a Trump-p…

Lindsey Graham is putting lives in danger by ignoring doctors

Victory Now PAC Unlike Lindsey Graham, my friend Jaime Harrison believes we should take advice about COVID-19 from the public health experts, not from Donald Trump. That's why he has requested that Lindsey Graham get a COVID test before tonight's debate in South Carolina. After all, Graham spen…

Americans deserve a government that cares about our safety and health

Van Hollen for Senate While the GOP remains focused on one man’s effort to turn his own COVID infection into reality TV, millions of Americans continue to suffer, and Trump has called off any negotiations over desperately needed COVID-19 relief. Instead, the president and his Senate GOP enable…

for the first time in 20 years, they asked about the climate crisis

Van Hollen for Senate While much of Tuesday night's debate was disgraceful and disturbingly predictable — Donald Trump's lying about his catastrophic failure to stop over 200,000 Americans losing their lives due to COVID-19, his call for white supremacists to be on "stand-by" and his constant …

we can't afford another four years of what we saw from Trump last night

Van Hollen for Senate Trump's debate performance last night was as unhinged and debased as it was predictable. The only way he thinks he can win the election is by sowing greater chaos and division -- and that was his goal. That's why our course is crystal clear. We need to make sure there is …

Trump's lies at the debate tonight will be our future if we don't step up now

responding to Trump's Supreme Court pick by doubling-down on taking back the Senate

Republicans' latest strategy to shred the ACA and end protection for preexisting conditions

Van Hollen for Senate Today Trump announced a new 'executive order' to allegedly "protect healthcare access for Americans with preexisting conditions." This is simply another fraudulent pronouncement from Don the Con. Not only is an executive order unable to achieve what he claims, but this is…

Trump's illegal voter request
