I feel weirdly nervous telling you why Dems might have HOPE

Friend, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Democrats are about to get their clock cleaned in November—media outlets have been pushing the "red wave" narrative for months already. But here's the thing: That narrative is starting to look like BS. Inflation is [slowing](, gas prices keep coming [down](, and President Biden just signed the most sweeping climate change legislation in [history](. It feels like the tide is turning, and it's starting to have a major impact on the election that's only just over two months away: - The backlash to the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade caused an anti-abortion referendum to go down in [overwhelming]( defeat in deep red Kansas - Democrats [have a narrow lead]( in generic congressional ballot polling, a key indicator for House elections nationwide - Republicans have [cut back $13 million]( in spending in four major swing states as they struggle with fundraising - Polls show Senate Democratic challengers taking leads in not [one](, not [two](, but [three]( Republican-held seats, which could be a huge boost to Dems' Senate majority - The Senate GOP's biggest super PAC is dumping [$28 million]( into Ohio—a state that has trended sharply Republican in recent years and was considered a longshot for Dems until recently Now, let's be clear: Midterm elections are historically very tough on the party that controls the White House. But, honestly, I think we could be on the verge of a historic win that few people see coming right now. [That's why I'm asking you to donate $5 to Daily Kos's Get Out The Vote (GOTV) program today.]( [DONATE]( We need to do everything we can to help Get Out The Vote in November. Republican state legislatures have thrown up new voting restrictions in key states, so we need to make sure every voter knows how, where and when to vote. We're already working to make sure loyal Democratic voters have a plan to vote and we are also reaching out to Democratic-leaning voters who sometimes stay home on Election Day. But that's not all—we're also recruiting poll workers across the country to make sure things run smoothly. [Getting Out The Vote costs Daily Kos time and money.
