Jason,
A federal court ruled this week that Donald Trump doesn't have presidential immunity in a case stemming from the January 6th insurrection.
That's a very good thing. This country was founded on the idea that no one is above the law — not even its leaders. It's nice to see that principle still holds up.
But let's be clear: No one should rely on the courts to save our democracy from Trump.
Trust me, I'd love nothing more than to see him held accountable in a court of law. But if it happens, it might take a while. His legal team is going to do everything it can to delay, delay, delay — almost certainly taking this case to the Supreme Court. The chances of a criminal trial starting and ending before the election in November are slim.
Hoping Trump gets convicted in time is simply not a strategy. That leaves us with only one option: campaign like hell to make sure he loses the election anyway.
Our team has spent the last several months identifying key voters in the states that are most likely to decide this election — places like Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. These are folks who might normally vote Republican but who are repulsed by Trump's actions on January 6th and his ongoing election denial, his friendliness to authoritarians and foreign adversaries, and his promise to be a "dictator on Day One."
We want to make sure we can run a program to reach those voters and ensure they know the stakes in this election. Our democracy hangs in the balance, and we can't afford to leave anything to chance (or hopes for speedy justice).
If you can, chip in to support this mission today — and let's go defeat Trump at the ballot box and send him away for good.
Thank you,
Amy
