Call him and yell at him if he's your senator.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where heβs advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing itβs a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.
Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.

When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. ITβS A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.
