Coming off the Democratic National Convention, I’m feeling hopeful. We have come a long way since I sent you that email last month about how I felt like crap!
You can feel the enthusiasm all over the country. Vice President Harris and Gov. Walz have everyone excited — and they have the Trump-Vance team worried.
Let’s hold on to this feeling but let’s also keep our eye on the prize. As former First Lady Michelle Obama said, “As we embrace this renewed sense of hope…let us not forget what we are up against.”
We have to leave it all on the field if we’re going to continue feeling this way after Election Day.
Michelle Obama told you to “do something.” Now, Al Franken is telling you to do something! (Yes, it’s come to this — I’m referring to myself in third person.)
Here’s something you can do right now: Contribute to help MVP help Democrats this November, from Vice President Harris at the top of the ticket, to the Senate, to the House, to governorships, to state legislatures.
Now is the time to step up. To beat Donald Trump. To keep the Senate blue. To take the majority in the House.
