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?
Day 14: Two Weeks Later, Have Rauner and Ives Spoken? “They Have Not”
Late yesterday, Capitol Fax confirmed state Representative Jeanne Ives and Governor Bruce Rauner still have not spoken since the primary. “They have not,” said an Ives campaign spokesperson.
Rauner used his election night speech to tell the 48% of Republicans that voted against him – “I have heard you.”
Two weeks later, he clearly has not.
“Bruce Rauner was the nation’s most vulnerable incumbent before 48% of Illinois Republicans voted for someone else,” said DGA Illinois Communications Director Sam Salustro. “Now, Rauner’s spent two weeks ignoring Ives and her supporters, and has done nothing to repair the rifts in his party as he enters the general election.”
