Donate now to win back the Senate!

Priority #1 for progressives this fall is beating Donald Trump, but priority #1A is taking back the Senate. That’s why Daily Kos is proud to announce we’re endorsing a trio of candidates who are running to unseat vulnerable Republican senators in November:

• Sara Gideon in Maine,
• MJ Hegar in Texas, and
• Raphael Warnock in Georgia.

If Joe Biden prevails but Mitch McConnell clings to his gavel, we’ll be in for at least two more years of extremist bad-faith obstruction of literally everything Democrats might hope to accomplish. This we cannot let happen. Our country is in dire straits and demands a new direction. It’s up to us to make sure we can start turning around our ship of state come January.

In spite of everything, however, Trump’s towering malfeasance has brought us a ray of good news by putting Republicans on defense everywhere. That means the GOP is suddenly forced to worry about Senate seats all over the country—including seats they were sure wouldn’t be at risk. But the tides have shifted dramatically, and a whole boatload of Republican senators could get washed away.

Polls have shown each of these Senate races neck-and-neck. You know what happens when Republicans get desperate, though: They grow nastier than ever—and they beg their Koch overlords to spend as much as possible so that they can cling to power.

But there’s no better way to fight dark money than with grassroots energy. With our combined might, we can make sure that Gideon, Hegar, and Warnock all have the resources they need to weather the coming typhoon. And if we can flip these seats, not only will we be electing three excellent new senators, we’ll also be sending Mitch McConnell back home—forever.

Please give $1 to each of these fierce Democrats who are busting their butts to make sure we can take back the Senate!
