The Democratic Party has delegates from all 57 states and territories. And we're going to elect leaders that remember all 57.
WISCONSIN!
Mandela Barnes, @TheOtherMandela, the first Black Lt Gov in our state's history and a progressive champion, here to cast Wisconsin's electoral college votes. So grateful for your leadership, Mandela!
Folks, we've got a nominee.
That is the most adorable "congrats on being nominated for president" party of all time

This coming week will be huge—but take a moment to soak in what happened in Wisconsin on Tuesday. A landslide against a GOP power grab. Even *without* Milwaukee and Madison’s Dane County, the GOP’s constitutional amendments lost. There’s a lesson here. 🧵
This thread tells a story, and it’s also a huge thank-you note—to everyone, from Governor Evers to allied groups to local volunteers—who made this victory happen.
Before I jump into it, let me also say: VP Harris and Gov Walz are coming to Milwaukee on Tuesday. RSVPs are open! Help spread the word by texting this link to anyone you know: mobilize.us/wisdems/event/…
ENDORSEMENT ALERT! Great Democrats are running in all eight of Wisconsin’s Congressional districts—and we aim to flip some seats, and flip the House. With yesterday’s primary behind us, meet our stellar candidates… and get ready to work for them! 🧵

First up—Wisconsin’s First Congressional District. Peter Barca is a local legend. He served as the Congressman from this district from 1993-95, long before Paul Ryan and his successor Bryan Steil. Now, he's going to flip it back to blue. barcaforwisconsin.com
The Wisconsin GOP used to pass bad laws through the rigged state legislature, and then Scott Walker would sign them, and the GOP-aligned Supreme Court majority would rubber-stamp them.
No longer.
Their backup plan? Constitutional amendments, timed for low-turnout elections. 🧵
12 of the last 13 Constitutional amendments in Wisconsin have passed. Legislators can word them however they want—often, as tonight, with intentionally confusing language.
Not subject to the Governor's veto. Pass 'em in back-to-back legislative sessions, then send to voters.
The GOP used this strategy in elections this spring. It worked. The GOP amended Wisconsin's constitution based on conspiracy theories about 2020.
In Wisconsin, we Democrats have been building our ground game for the last eight years. Now, the battle for the airwaves has begun. 🧵

The central question in any election is, in a sense, what the election is *about.*
There are years when nothing happens, and there are weeks when decades happen. This was one of those decades-long weeks. 🧵
Speaking of weeks, we’re less than 15 weeks from November 5, and the most important election of our lifetime. Won’t you donate to WisDems now to ensure that Wisconsin goes blue on Election Day? Chip in: secure.actblue.com/donate/harris-…
One week ago, we were recovering from Donald Trump’s god-awful acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Today, Vice President Kamala Harris kicks off her campaign for president in the state that tipped Biden-Harris over the top in 2020—Wisconsin. The state Kamala Harris once called home. This is our moment. 🧵
Before I dig in here, I should say—if you want to help make sure Wisconsin goes blue for Kamala Harris this November, chip in now and share this thread. We’re cranking our voter mobilization machine into overdrive. secure.actblue.com/donate/harris-…
The Vice President is speaking today at West Allis Central High School, a school famous for producing not one but 2 speed skaters who won Olympic Gold Medals in sprinting—Chris Witty & Dan Jansen. Which is appropriate. Because it feels like we’ve been sprinting through history.
