Let’s go flip the House!
Kamala Harris is now in the lead. While nothing is ever certain, if you keep up the effort and enthusiasm level that you’ve shown for her campaign over the past month, she’ll be in a great position to win. But what about giving her a House and Senate to work with?
I’ve made it very clear that I think the 2024 Senate majority hinges on getting Democratic Senator Jon Tester reelected in Montana, where he’s very popular and has about a 50-50 chance of winning. For better or worse, it’s Tester or bust. But the House situation is more complex.
As of now there are about twenty House races that are rated “toss up” by Cook Political Report, which is to say that they’re expected to come down to a point or two in either direction. These are the super-close races that we can dive into and make a difference in the outcome.
I’ve posted these House “toss up” races a number of times. But some of you have pointed out that it’s a confusing hassle to go through and try to donate to each of them. Now we have an ActBlue page where you can make one donation and it’s split evenly among the Democratic candidates in the House toss-up races. We just launched it yesterday and it’s already raised more than twenty thousand dollars and counting.
The great thing about this is that because it’s an ActBlue page, all the money (minus credit card processing fees) goes directly to the candidates. There are no PACs involved, no funny business, no one’s pocketing anything. If you ask the candidates, they’ll tell you to donate to them through ActBlue.
So let’s go flip the House. Donate any amount, big or small depending on your personal budget, to this ActBlue page so we can give President Kamala Harris a House majority and change the course of history! Here’s the link: Key House Races 2024
