Last night, Democrats came up short in Virginia. Terry McAuliffe was defeated by Trump-endorsed Glenn Youngkin in the election for Virginia governor. This happened one year after Joe Biden won the state over Donald Trump by ten percentage points.
Make no mistake: this devastating loss is a result of what's going on right now in Congress with the Democratic Party.
It's an even more devastating loss if you consider what this means for our future in the 2022 midterms. One political analyst even noted that last night's results reflect a political environment where Republicans could "comfortably" take back both the House and Senate.
We need to fight back with everything we've got in 2022 — not just to keep the House and Senate, but to also keep unapologetically progressive leaders like Jamaal in Congress, fighting for our agenda. Will you please chip in $10 or any other amount?
The pundits and corporate Democrats blaming progressives for yesterday's loss have it backwards. Progressives like Jamaal have been vocal about the need to pass both of President Biden's bills since the beginning. Had corporate Democrats like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema not blocked progress — we could have delivered many of the most popular policies of our time for the people months ago, instead of squandering the opportunities we have.
Progressives are working hard to deliver for the people, because they realize that's what they were sent to Washington to do in the first place. But establishment Democrats like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema continue to stall on passing the Build Back Better Act and infrastructure, all for their own benefit and the benefit of their corporate interests.
Democrats can win when Democrats deliver. Rather than losing hope or giving up the fight, our mandate is clear: we must continue to organize and do the work for a better tomorrow. We must continue to put the needs of people first, and continue to hold the line — this is our New Deal moment to secure the most protections for the most people.
This is an urgent moment as we seek to keep both the House and Senate moving into 2022. We need leaders like Jamaal, now more than ever, to keep pushing Congress in a more progressive direction to meet the moment and fulfill their promises to the American people. Please in $10 to support his leadership in Washington today. Thank you!
