It’s Trump.

Well, the bad news is that it looks very much like a short march to the nomination for Donald Trump. He beat Nikki Haley by 11 points despite the New Hampshire primary being open to everyone, including independents and Democrats.

The good news is that Trump is going to be the Republican nominee, and that he is the easiest of their candidates to beat.

The bad news is that a Trump victory in November now looks like a 50-50 proposition. And that’s not just bad, it’s scary. 

The good news is that 13% of New Hampshire Trump voters said Trump would not be fit for office if he was convicted in one of his four criminal cases.

Wait. That’s kinda bad news.

Well, the good news is that we can all try to do something about it. As I’ve said, Midwest Values PAC will be supporting ground game in the battleground states.

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.
