Why I'm Optimistic About November (Video), We've Beaten Inflation and Achieved A Soft Landing, Biden's Historic PresidencyThanks everyone for coming by our Thursday night call/postcarding session for Janelle Bynum - it was a lot of fun and we reached a lot of voters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Friday all. Got a few things for you today: It’s A New, Bluer Election - Yesterday I wrote here about the very encouraging polling data we’ve gotten in these past two weeks. This morning I send along a discussion with Ben Meiselas of MeidasTouch we recorded yesterday about what I’m seeing now in the 2024 election and why I would much rather be us than them. It’s 18 minutes long and will be a good weekend watch or listen.  The Harris campaign announced all sorts of good news about its fundraising this morning. My favorite stat:
Here’s more:
Exciting stuff everyone. Together we are building the most powerful political machine we’ve ever seen, and I am proud to be in this fight with all of you.
Hostages Come Home, Russian Democracy Advocates Freed - Another landmark achievement for the Biden-Harris team. Watch this video from the Oval Office last night. Very moving stuff:  July Jobs Report A Bit Slower Than Expected. We Achieved A “Soft Landing” and Beaten Inflation. It’s Time For The Fed To Cut Interest Rates - The July jobs report came in at 114,000, a bit slower than expected. With inflation falling and at the Fed target rate for the past six months, and the great American jobs machine clearly slowing now, it is time - past time - for the Fed to cut interest rates. We have successfully achieved the economic “soft landing” everyone was hoping for - strong growth, inflation falling and now back to 2% over the past six months - and it is time now for the Fed to act. Here are updates to some of our core economic graphs:
And yes, my favorite of all. Since 1989 and a new age of globalization began 52 million jobs have been created in America. 50m of those, 96%, have been created under Democratic Presidents. Essentially all of them, over 36 years.
Simone Biles, American Hero, Weighs In From Paris About What She Thinks of Trump’s Deeply Racist Claim There Are “Black” Jobs in America -
Fired Up, Ready To Go/Thursday Hopium “Winning The House” Volunteer Nights - I want to thank the almost 300 people who came by last night for our initial phonebanking and postcarding session for our 11 endorsed Hopium House candidate. We got to hear from Janelle Bynum, and folks went to work and wrote over 1,000 postcards and made over 10,000 calls to prime Democrats in OR-5 encouraging them to Vote Early/On Day 1. Hopium was in abundance last night and it was great to be with all of you. We kicked it off last night some wonderful words from Janelle. Do watch:  As folks with us last night experienced, we had some bumps in our execution and we will be spending time today discussing ways we can streamline and improve these in the future. More on that tomorrow. I also want to thank Susan Wagner and Robbin Warner for pulling all this together. I will have a longer list of thank yous tomorrow as there was a remarkable team behind that all that work last night, particularly given the initial technical challenges we had. Also note that we have now raised $800,000 for both the Biden & Harris campaigns and our endorsed House candidates, and almost $800,000 for our “checkmate” targets AZ, NC and NE-2. Tens of thousands of you are working on campaigns across the country and many have you have been given many hours to Democrats over these last years. We are strong as a party because of all of you and this vital work we are doing, together - thank you all. If you are looking for ways to contribute here are our ongoing campaigns:
Here’s how you can do even more:
The only primary candidate we endorsed this year, Andrei Cherny in AZ-01, lost on Tuesday night in a very close election decided by less than 2,000 votes. So we are now 11 House candidates, not 12, and it’s a reminder how close elections can be and how important our work is. Thanks to all of you who contributed to Andrei’s race. He remains a dear, dear friend and one of the best and smartest people I’ve ever worked with. Much love to Andrei and his family today! With the new political landscape we find ourselves in I will be reviewing our current strategy in the coming days and consider making adjustments. Our current strategy boils down to this:
The recommendations I’ve made to you are where I’ve believed your money and time were best spent. But as the election is changing now it is a good time to re-evaluate all this and make adjustments if needed. More on that soon.
