We must defend the Senate

The Democratic majority is working hard for families struggling to make it through this crisis -- but we can only keep making real progress if we keep the Senate blue in 2022. John, We cannot go back to the broken policies that have left American workers and American families behind. But that’s …

the honest truth

With the Senate split 50-50, Republicans need to flip only one seat to put Mitch McConnell back in power -- and election experts from The Washington Post to NBC News confirm that I'm the GOP's top target for defeat. John, In a moment, I'm going to ask you to pitch in to my reelection campaign b…
