The 2024 election will be the most important in our nation’s history (with the possible exception of 1860, Lincoln’s first election). I know people say that every election. But it’s not an exaggeration to say this election will determine whether we continue to be a democracy.
That’s why Midwest Values PAC is supporting Democratic candidates at every level and will continue to invest heavily in battleground states and programs.
On the off chance that you need evidence of why this year’s elections are so important, here’s some:
- It’s looking very likely that Trump will be the Republicans’ nominee. Despite the January 6th hearings. Despite his four indictments. Despite Trump and his lawyers claiming presidential immunity protects him from prosecution for hypothetically executing people who disagree with him!?!?
- While we’re on the topic of Trump, during a town hall he bragged about getting Roe v. Wade overturned: “For 54 years they were trying to get Roe v. Wade terminated, and I did it. And I’m proud to have done it.” Since Dobbs, we’ve seen efforts to ban the abortion pill. Women forced to travel out of state for abortion care. Efforts to ban people’s right to travel for reproductive care. And now, Alabama’s IVF ruling that says embryos can be considered children.
- Even Republicans in Congress are embarrassed that they have no accomplishments to run on in 2024! This Congress is on track to be one of the least productive in U.S. history — and it has a lot to do with House Republicans leaving Congress leaderless and powerless for more than three weeks when they ousted their Speaker for the first time EVER. And they’ve brought the government to the brink of a shutdown more than a few times — and are on track to do it again in the coming days!
All of this points to the importance of the next election, don’t you think?
Midwest Values PAC is dedicated to flipping the House, holding the Senate, and re-electing Biden.

P.S. It’s getting scarier and scarier out there. Really!!!
