Do elections even matter anymore?

Let’s address the elephant in the room: “Will there even be elections that mean anything, now that Trump is in power?” Our answer: Unequivocally, yes — and we will use them to end the MAGA era.

Donald Trump will not serve in the White House in 2029. No President can cancel elections (even by martial law), run for a third term (even as VP), or stay in office after their successor’s constitutionally scheduled Inauguration. And, thanks to our decentralized election administration system, any attempt to bypass electoral guardrails would require the complicity of thousands of state and local officials. 

Yes, Trump will still try to subvert our elections, but we can (and must) stop him. He will use every trick in the playbook to rig the outcomes in 2026 and 2028, but we will not surrender. We must:

  • Protect free and fair elections with every tool at our disposal – see our election protection plan.
  • Vote out the GOP down-ballot in 2025, then flip the House (and possibly Senate) in 2026.
  • End the MAGA era and begin to deliver real progress by gaining a federal trifecta in 2028.
