I told the Post something I’ve been saying for years. Democratic strategists have told me to my face they’d “rather lose elections than win with those people” — meaning faith voters.
That’s the fight. MAGA on one side, writing the Gospel into a campaign ad, and a chunk of my own party on the other side writing off millions of reachable voters in pews.
We don’t write them off. And that’s how we’re going to win the midterms.
A story like this one goes somewhere a bus tour can’t — onto the kitchen table or phone screen of someone like the woman I wrote to you about on Monday, the one whose MAGA pastor keeps telling her Jesus wants her voting against her neighbors.
She reads this story, and suddenly she knows something she didn’t know yesterday: she isn’t alone. There are clergy who will stand in front of the White House and say that is not the Gospel.
This is what happens when we show up. We fly to DC. We stand in the street outside the White House. We meet with reporters. We share our stories. And every now and then, one of those conversations lands in front of millions of readers in one of the biggest newsrooms in the country.
But none of it happens without you.
