Today’s Action: Flip the House with a Swing Left local event!
It’s greatly due to the obsequious Republican Congress and a right-leaning Supreme Court that Trump has been able to wreak as much havoc as he has. Without a conservative majority in the Supreme Court, we would not have the Muslim Travel Ban right now. Without a Republican majority Congress, we would have legislation blocking the Zero Tolerance Policy which has resulted in thousands of asylum seekers in family jails. And so much more.
But thanks to grassroots efforts and volunteers around the country, we get closer every day to breaking Trump’s stranglehold on political power by taking back the House. Recent special elections have proven that Democrats can take, not just swing districts, but areas previously considered solidly Republican.
Swing Left is leading the way in flipping House seats, hosting local events all around the country. Whether you live in or near a swing district – or nowhere close – a local event near you is working hard to put volunteer efforts where they’re needed most.
In March, Democrat Conor Lamb beat his opponent in a Pennsylvania district that Trump stormed by 20 points…and an Ohio district that Trump swept by 11 points now must count every absentee ballot to determine whether Democrat Danny O’Connor takes the seat.
There will be 78 highly competitive House elections this year, and we only need to flip 23 of them while holding our own seats to win back the House for Democrats.
But no super-humans are out there doing this work for us. The #BlueWave is composed of everyday Democrats who want to see this regime halted, willing to commit a few hours between now and November 6 to make it happen. Swing Left makes this easy — connecting you to local events and motivated Democrats across the country.
