Scaring the crap out of me…
We can’t take this election for granted.
Jason,
How do you feel about our chances to take back the House this year?
On one hand, Democrats have incredible momentum. The American people are clearly fed up with high prices, our base is extremely energized, and Donald Trump’s approval ratings just reached an all-time low.
But I still remember how it felt in 2022 and 2024 when we thought victory was secure, only for Republicans to squeak out a narrow House majority.
We cannot take a single thing for granted. In fact, I just saw a new poll from Forbes that has me deeply worried: It shows that if the election were held today, Democrats would only win nationwide by 2 points...Yikes!
With Republicans working to redraw Congressional maps and suppress the voices of millions of women and minorities, a 2-point lead is dangerously slim — especially for a race like ours.
That is exactly the kind of margin where right-wing special interests can dump millions of dollars into the race and flip enough seats to maintain power. It means California’s 9th District is firmly in play, and this is a must-win for Democrats.
If these numbers hold, we are in for a rude awakening in November. We have to act now to prevent that worst-case scenario from becoming our reality.
Please don’t let anyone convince you that we’ve got this election in the bag. There is too much at stake. The margins are going to be razor-thin, just like they always are, and we need your help today to keep the momentum on our side.
Thank you for standing with us,
— Josh
