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?
ICYMI: Morning Joe Panel Discusses Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards’ Political Playbook
Last week, Morning Joe discussed what issues led to Gov. Edwards’ successful reelection and how it could be a model for Democrats running in swing states.
Gov. Edwards’ campaign pollster Zac McCrary talked about Gov. Edwards’ real record of bipartisan accomplishments that made it possible for him to be the first Democrat reelected as governor in 44 years in Louisiana. Gov. Edwards signed an executive order expanding Medicaid to provide health care to 450,000 working people, passed bipartisan criminal justice reform, and gave teachers their first pay raise in a decade.
Senate candidates in Georgia and Texas could take “lessons of how do you talk about the issues” and how to translate that into votes, said MSNBC Contributor Karine Jean-Pierre.
