Today’s Action: It’s Election Day in Georgia! TODAY, we flip the Senate!
Election season. You’ve been at it for over a year. From campaigning for your favorite Democratic candidate in the primaries, to writing letters to register new voters, to making phone calls and texting banking to oust Donald Trump, you’ve worked so hard…and Trump is OUT of the White House in two weeks and we’ve held the House of Representatives, thanks to you!
Now take a big breath in, because today is the last day of election season! Today, Georgia voters hit the polls to select both their Senators…and if we win both seats for Democrats, we take back control of the Senate! We lose either seat? Majority Leader Mitch McConnell remains in power, and the Senate’s legislative agenda and judicial confirmations stay in his skeletal grip.
Today is our LAST DAY to help win the Senate for Democrats!

We’ve known that Georgia has been shifting blue for a while, and Biden’s victory by nearly 12,000 votes confirmed it. Georgia voters want to elect Democrats, and early voting has already broken records by passing the 3 million mark. But Republicans tend to turn out in higher numbers on Election Day itself, and many anti-Trump Republicans would still love to see Mitch in control.
Your Election Day calls make a huge difference, because we only win if we get our people out. And often, the only thing a potential voter needs to turn into an actual voter is a friendly reminder about their nearest polling location and encouragement that their voice really does matter.
We have until TONIGHT to take back the Senate by winning both Georgia seats in today’s run-off election!
