Plan to Flip the Senate

Goal: Flip the Senate in '26 and hold the majority in '28.

Why: Flipping the Senate would help us stop the MAGA agenda, block judicial (and possibly Supreme Court) appointments, and increase our odds of a Democratic trifecta in 2028.

How: To flip the Senate (currently a 53-47 GOP majority), MVP is investing in year-round organizing in 11 competitive Senate states, so we can defend 3 vulnerable Democratic seats and flip 4 GOP seats.
