Here are three ways we can turn anti-Trump solidarity into political power | Robert Reich
"Target vulnerable Republican senators and House members to either switch parties or flip their seats. Republican majorities are razor-thin, and some Republicans in purple districts are struggling to maintain support."
"Since January 2025, Democrats have overperformed in special elections in congressional districts Trump won in 2024, by an average of 17 points, indicating a shift in voter sentiment."
"The key will be to get out the vote. Make a plan, use phone trees, write postcards, and arrange transportation for those who need it."
"Trump's approval ratings are declining, with only 36% approval in a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, reflecting growing discontent among the electorate."
Millions across America demonstrated solidarity against Trump's policies, particularly regarding his war in Iran and immigration issues. To convert this solidarity into political power, activists should collaborate with known groups and target vulnerable Republican lawmakers. The focus should be on mobilizing voters for the upcoming midterm elections to achieve Democratic majorities in Congress. Effective strategies include organizing voter outreach, utilizing phone trees, and ensuring transportation for voters. Recent trends show Democrats have performed well in special elections, indicating potential for success in future elections.
