With the midterm elections over, we wanted to take a minute to thank you for all of your hard work. Here are a few examples of what the Democrats were able to do this cycle thanks to your support:
- 💵 Invested $90 million to state and electoral midterm programs.
- 💰 Transferred $27 million to our sister committees.
- 💪 Mobilized volunteers to take 500,000 actions for volunteer recruitment, voter registration, and GOTV.
- 📱 Made over 7.8 million calls and sent over 28 million text messages nationwide.
We couldn’t have done it without you and this grassroots team, and for that, we’re so grateful.

Georgia Runoff
It’s official -- there’ll be a runoff in Georgia on December 6 between Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker. This grassroots team is going to make all the difference in this race, so we’re counting on your support.

Will you split a $25 donation between the DNC and Sen. Warnock’s campaign right now to help defeat Herschel Walker, keep Georgia blue, and elect Democrats nationwide?
President Biden’s Message
Did you catch President Biden’s speech on Wednesday? President Biden spoke optimistically about the future of the nation and what Democrats have done and will continue to do. Take a look:
“You’ve all heard me say it before, and I’ll say it again: I honest to God have never been more optimistic about America’s future than today. And I’m optimistic for a number of reasons.
We’re better situated than any nation in the world -- any nation in the world -- to lead the world. We’re better positioned than any nation in the world, in terms of our economic growth and possibilities. And I’m optimistic because of the young people of this nation.”
