🧵 The #MidtermElections2022 last week made one thing clear: we’ve held off an existential threat to our democracy – for now. Overall, more than 19 million people voted for extremist candidates nationwide.
Out of the 49 major extremist candidates tracked by our Center on Extremism, 17 won their race, collecting more than 6.7 million votes.
While Americans largely repudiated extremism and hate, the threat to democracy is far from over. The victories of extremist candidates and their millions of supporters show we need to do more before 2024.
We must remain vigilant and call on leaders of all parties to come together and put an end to this threat.
