Danielle, Mitch McConnell has a plan for what he'll do in 2023 if he takes back the Senate: Nothing. Nothing to help families, nothing to grow our economy, nothing to meet the needs of the American people — because if he can make sure nothing gets done, it would make President Biden look bad. McConnell's plan is all politics, all obstruction, all the time. Sound familiar? Yep, because it's the same play he ran against President Obama, including refusing to consider his Supreme Court nominee in 2016. We can't let it happen again, but we're going to have to fight, because our Democratic majority hangs by a thread. Next week marks our first FEC deadline of 2022. After that, we'll have to publicly report how much money we've raised as a grassroots team — our first chance to size things up and see how ready we are for this election year. If you can, Danielle, will you pitch in $15 to support our re-election and help elect more Warren Democrats? If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will process automatically: | Now, I get it: Even with Democratic control, everything hasn't exactly been sunshine and rainbows. Even though we've taken big strides with the American Rescue Plan, and the Infrastructure Act, it's bone-deep frustrating that we haven't been able to protect voting rights or get climate action and child care over the finish line already. But the answer isn't to give up. There's one way to make it easier to get more done: expand our Democratic majorities. And there's one way to guarantee that NOTHING else gets done: hang back and watch Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy grab the reins. A Democratic Congress — with stronger majorities, and more members who understand what working families need — means we have a chance to keep up the fight. A chance to level the playing field for families. A chance to protect our democracy. So here's my plan: I'm going to spend the rest of 2022 fighting to get as much done as possible with the Congress we have now, and working to elect more Warren Democrats up and down the ballot so we can expand our majorities and get more on the table. But our success is going to come down to grassroots organizing and grassroots fundraising. So before next week's FEC grassroots fundraising deadline, I have to ask: If it makes sense for you right now, can you make a donation to help support our campaign and grow our movement? Thanks for being a part of this, Elizabeth |
