TRUMP IS A CHICKEN

Today was supposed to be the second presidential debate, but Donald Trump skipped out on it because he said it was “too late” — even though it would’ve fallen around the same date as final debates in past presidential elections.

Ahead of the vice presidential debate earlier this month, the DNC projected images onto Trump Tower, including one that said “Trump is a chicken” for refusing to debate Vice President Harris a second time.

It got me thinking: What if we raised money to project a similar image somewhere Trump is sure to see it — like Mar-a-Lago while he’s playing golf? It could look something like this:

I ran this idea by my team, and they said, “Al! Just ask people to contribute to MVP so we can send that money to organizations on the ground in battleground states during these last two weeks before Election Day!”

So be it.

P.S. We want a president who shows up when it counts. Vice President Harris was ready to debate tonight. Trump wasn’t. It speaks volumes, don’t you think?

Somehow, it’s been 20 years since I started Midwest Values PAC to help Democrats win elections — from progressive organizations to state legislatures to Congress to the White House — who share the values I grew up with in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

Since 2006, Midwest Values PAC has invested more than $4 million in 341 candidates and organizations — and counting. 

Of course, none of this happens without you (or supporters like you) who care enough to pitch in.

As we mark our 20th anniversary, the work is more urgent than ever. This year, we have a big job: flip the House, take the Senate, and win up and down the ballot at the state and local level.

To mark our 20th year, we’ve set an ambitious goal: 26,000 contributions by Election Day 2026.

Thanks for being part of this fight, and for sticking with us for 20 years (or for just joining — welcome!).

P.S. Over the years, okay, decades, we’ve helped Democrats win tough races all across the country by investing early, intelligently, and strategically. That’s how you flip seats. That’s how you protect democracy. And that’s how you stop the worst impulses of a president who never should have been president in the first place.
