Just over a week ago, Democrats secured historic victories up and down the ballot across blue, red, and purple districts. As more races are officially called, Democrats continue to make history — flipping seats in Congress and statewide races from red to blue as voters place their faith in Democrats’ agenda to lower costs, expand access to healthcare, and make life more affordable.
From coast to coast, the blue tsunami sweeping across the country is a resounding wake-up call for Donald Trump and Republicans that Americans are fed up with their price-spiking, corrupt agenda. Voters have made their message clear — and newly elected Democrats are ready to hit the ground running to pass policies that prioritize working Americans.

Meanwhile, Trump and Republicans continue to cling to their out-of-touch, unaffordable, and unpopular agenda, even after voters delivered a humiliating rejection of it. In fact, Republicans are doubling down on their reckless policies that only sow chaos and enrich the top 1% while working families are left with no choice but to dip further into their savings or take on debt to survive another day in Trump’s unaffordable America. As if matters couldn’t get worse, the Trump administration is also continuing its assault on Americans’ food assistance by taking another sledgehammer to SNAP, leaving millions of Americans without the lifeline program they need to put meals on the table.
As Trump continues to turn a blind eye to the struggles of Americans, Democrats are ready to fight for working families and build a more affordable America for all.
