Dear MoveOn member,
So here is an interesting quandary: How can voters both win and lose on November 5?
The latest polls are in for the economic policies that Vice President Kamala Harris laid out in her nomination acceptance speech, and these ideas are big winners with voters.
Capping out-of-pocket medical costs, restoring the pandemic-era child tax credit, providing a $25,000 down payment subsidy for first-time home buyers—all of these policies have widespread support.1
However, if Vice President Harris wins the presidency but Democrats lose Congress, it will be incredibly difficult for any of these policies to ever become law, and the American people will lose out on a more just and equitable economy that works for us all.
We need to work just as hard to hold and expand our majority in the Senate and flip the House of Representatives as we do to elect Vice President Harris, which is why MoveOn is announcing our Senate endorsements of five candidates who will make a huge difference come November 5. These races are projected to be nail-biters, but we have the power to win them and stop a Project 2025 takeover of the Senate if we come together right now.
Will you start a $5 monthly donation so that MoveOn can help to secure a Senate that will back a Harris-Walz administration’s policies and usher in a new future of progress for us all? Your ongoing donation will power our work in the final stretch of this election.
No, I’m sorry, I can’t make a monthly donation.
A new poll of swing voters, who don’t pay as much attention to politics, produced surprising results: These voters are progressive when it comes to economic policies.2
The top policies that would win their votes for the Harris-Walz ticket include expanding Medicare coverage, raising the federal minimum wage, raising taxes on the wealthy, and increasing abortion protections.3
And that’s why we need to get the word out about our slate of Senate endorsements, who champion those very policies:
- Sherrod Brown (Ohio)
- Tammy Baldwin (Wisconsin)
- Ruben Gallego (Arizona)
- Bob Casey Jr. (Pennsylvania)
- Jacky Rosen (Nevada)
The latest numbers show these races separated by just a handful of points, and we have just 70 days to go.
Will you start a $5 monthly donation to help elect a Democratic government that will build an economy where everyone can thrive? With our freedoms and democracy on the line, your sustaining donation couldn’t be more critical.
No, I’m sorry, I can’t make a monthly donation.
Kendall, if there’s one message we need to take away from Vice President Harris’s speech last week, it’s that we can’t afford to have anyone stay on the sidelines.
This isn’t just about electing Harris to the White House. This is about defeating MAGA and Project 2025 up and down the ballot—from keeping book banners out of the House of Representatives to keeping anti-abortion zealots out of the Senate.
And electing Gallego, Casey, Rosen, Brown, and Baldwin isn’t just about keeping control of the Senate—it’s about keeping the seats of senators who have stood up for the people and against corporations and bigots, time and time again. We need your help in order to connect this election to a future of prosperity and security for voters.
MoveOn has a super-powered get-out-the-vote plan, with an easy way to reach out to family and friends and talk to them about these policy issues that we know they care about. And we’re using a state-of-the-art social media program, including influencers and MoveOn members, to let the voters that can swing this election know which issues are on the line this year—and which candidates will do the most for them.
We have the research, we have the tools. Now all we need is your help to sustain our work through Election Day and elect a Democratic government with Kamala Harris as president.
Will you start a $5 monthly donation to MoveOn?
No, I’m sorry, I can’t make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn? The MAGA right is declaring war, and Project 2025 is their battle plan. Project 2025 threatens our rights, attacks communities of color, hurts middle- and working-class families, and undermines our democracy. But we will not back down or let Trump steamroll our nation.
Will you donate to power MoveOn’s election plan, stop Trump, and ensure Project 2025 is never enacted?
