Hey! It’s Devan, Executive Director here at the DSCC. I wanted to provide our Substack readers with an update as we head into the final stretch of the midterms.
These elections are going to be some of the most consequential of our lifetimes, but if you’re reading this, I’m sure you already know that. I wanted to take the chance to go over the stakes of why these elections are so important and how the DSCC is feeling heading into them.
Day after day, we have seen that Donald Trump will stop at nothing to make our lives harder and more expensive. I am here to tell you that if we allow him to demotivate us, he’s going to keep making things worse.
Senate Republicans have allowed Trump to get away with whatever he’s wanted. They pushed through his ‘One Big Beautiful Bill,’ which gutted health care access for millions and raised costs for everyday Americans in order to grant tax giveaways to billionaires. They’ve rubber-stamped Trump’s far-right Cabinet picks like Pete Hegseth and RFK Jr. They’ve remained silent as he’s attacked elections, the First Amendment, and more. In short, they’ve proven over and over that they care more about appeasing their leader than sticking up for folks like you.
Those are the stakes if we allow Senate Republicans to remain in control. But if Democrats flip the Senate, we will put a check on this out-of-control administration.
There is real reason to have hope that a blue Senate is possible. Our candidates have run stellar campaigns and they are focused on issues that matter to voters, from affordability to fighting against corruption. Because of who they are and the campaigns they are running, polling has shown that a blue wave is possible across the country.
I feel confident in our chances of taking back the Senate this fall. I see our team here at the DSCC, our volunteers on the ground, and supporters like you working hard to help flip the Senate every single day.
Thank you for standing by our side throughout this fight. It means the world to me. It is because of people like you that the possibility of a blue Senate is within our reach.
Forever grateful,
Devan
Executive Director, DSCC
A message from DSCC’s Grassroots Fundraising Team --
When we say that Senate Democrats are counting on grassroots donors, we’re not kidding. 98% of donations to the DSCC during the 2024 election came from donors giving less than $200.
Your donations help us organize in key battleground states and help overcome MILLIONS raised by GOP megadonors.
We need your help to fight back. The battle to flip the Senate is going to be competitive, and we’re counting on grassroots supporters like you to win.
If you’re with us and this people-powered mission, chip in today!
