Chip in today to elect Dem govs across the country >>
Democratic governors are leading the fight against Donald Trump and his administration – and they need your help. Trump and his allies have hundreds of millions of dollars to attack our candidates, and we have to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight back. With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
As Rhode Island Primary Approaches, Fung Goes Full Trump
In advance of Wednesday’s Rhode Island primary, Cranston Mayor Allan Fung is going full-Trump, a strategy that will certainly cause him problems should he advance to the general election.
Over the weekend, it was reported that Fung sent out a fear-mongering mailer on “violent illegal immigrants.” On top of that, he’s been touting the endorsement of former Trump press secretary and noted liar Sean Spicer.
Unfortunately for Fung, Rhode Islanders don’t much care for President Trump. He lost the state 16 points, and his net approval rating stands at -18.
“Rhode Islanders need a governor who will stand up against the Trump Administration’s agenda, not one who is trying to bring that agenda to the Ocean State,” said Democratic Governors Association Press Secretary Melissa Miller. “By embracing Trump in the primary like this, Fung has shot himself in the foot for the general election. Voters won’t forget whose side he’s really on.”
