Priority# 1 for progressives this fall is beating Donald Trump, but priority #1A is take back the Senate. That’s why Daily Kos is proud to announce we’re endorsing a trio of candidates who are running to overthrow prone Republican senators in November 😛 TAGEND

Steve Bullock in Montana,

Theresa Greenfield in Iowa, and

Jon Ossoff in Georgia.

If Joe Biden reigns but Sen. Mitch McConnell clasps to his gavel, we’ll be in for at least two more years of extremist bad faith obstruction of literally everything Democrat might hope to accomplish. This we cannot gave happen. Our country is in dire straits and asks a new counseling. It’s up to us to make sure we can start turning around our carry of state come January.

Please donate$ 1 to each of these awesome Democrats who are doing their utmost to turn the Senate !

In spite of everything, however, Trump’s towering malfeasance has brought us a light of good word by lay Republicans on justification everywhere. That necessitates the GOP is unexpectedly forced to worry about Senate seats in red states–seats they were sure wouldn’t be at risk. But the tides have altered dramatically, and a whole boatload of Republican senators could get washed away.

In Montana, Gov. Steve Bullock is running against Sen. Steve Daines, a reliable Trump supporter who’s repeatedly voted to cancel the Affordable Care Act and supports the pending lawsuit seeking to overturn it.

Bullock, by contrast, worked to expand Medicaid under Obamacare to 90,000 low-income Montanans. And while Daines voted to limit unemployment benefits for those who’ve lost their jobs because of the coronavirus, Bullock has earned widespread adoration for his response to the pandemic that has resulted in Montana having one of the lowest infection rates in the country.

In Iowa, businesswoman Theresa Greenfield is targeting Sen. Joni Ernst, a steadfast McConnell foot soldier who said last year that she craves Congress to take aim at Social Security benefits “behind closed doors” to avoid public scrutiny.

Try telling that to Greenfield, who was tragically widowed at persons under the age of 24 while pregnant with her second child and relied on Social Security for her family’s survival. The gaps lead depth: Greenfield has sworn off corporate PAC gives and wants to overturn Citizens United; Ernst, meanwhile, has benefited from a secretive dark money group with ties so close to her own expedition that it “potentially transgresses the existing legislation, ” according to the AP.

And in Georgia, investigative correspondent Jon Ossoff be available to combat Sen. David Perdue, a person Politico announced “the co-pilot of Trump’s first term.” When it comes to using their positions to enrich themselves, Trump and Perdue are a lot alike: In January, Perdue bought stock in a company that manufactures personal protective rig on the same day the Senate received a grouped briefing on the coronavirus.

Ossoff couldn’t be more different: He’s dedicated his job to investigating corruption worldwide, disclosing crooked magistrates, thieving officials, and war criminals. And while Perdue has called claims of voter suppression “a lie liberty out of the cavity of hell, ” Ossoff is fighting for a new Voting Rights Act to ensure everyone can be heard at the ballot box, as well as a new Civil Rights Act to address our nation’s deep racial inequities.

Amazingly, even though Trump carried all of these states four years ago, polls have shown each of these Senate races to be neck-and-neck. You know what happens when Republicans do desperate, though: They develop nastier than ever–and they sidestep their Koch overlords to waste as far as is possible so that they are capable of cling to power.

But there’s no better way to fight dark money than with grassroots energy. With our compounded might, we can make sure that Bullock, Greenfield, and Ossoff all have the resources they need to weather the coming storm. And if we can flip these tushes , is not simply will we be electing three excellent new senators, we’ll too send back Mitch McConnell back home–forever.

Please, be given by$ 1 to each of these fierce Democrat who are busting their ass to make sure we can take back the Senate !
