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: North Carolina Voters Agree 2:1 With Gov. Roy Cooper’s Decision to Protect North Carolinians
Last week, we said “Gov. Roy Cooper Was Right” – this week, it turns out the voters agree with us by a 2:1 margin. A new NBC News/Marist poll shows voters overwhelmingly agree with North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper’s decision to follow the advice of public health experts and stand strong against pressure from Republicans.
Back in June, Gov. Cooper insisted an in-person Republican National Convention would be unsafe and put North Carolinians’ lives at risk, while the RNC wanted to hold a full-scale event during the pandemic. So Trump and the Republican National Committee made the politically motivated decision to move the event to Jacksonville, Florida – a city with a Republican mayor and a Republican governor.
Only Gov. Ron DeSantis’ lack of restrictions in Florida have resulted in a catastrophic COVID-19 outbreak. Hospitals are running out of ICU beds and cases are going up by the tens of thousands every day – a very unsafe situation to hold a large rally in, as Gov. Cooper so rightly predicted in June.
MSNBC’s Morning Joe featured the results of the poll in a segment this morning. Watch the clip here.
