I’ll never forget the day after @realDonaldTrump was elected, @BarackObama called us into the Oval Office and provided a pep talk. “History doesn’t move in a straight line,” he said. “It zigs and zags.” I didn’t fully get it then, but... 1/5
...two years later - knocking on doors and making calls for my mom, Madeleine Dean, and her campaign for Congress in the #PA4 - his words are resonating more and more. 2/5
It’s been a ridiculous couple of years, but we have the chance tomorrow to elect strong Democrats who will zig us back toward the more promising future President Obama was working toward for years and talking about on that dreary Wednesday. 3/5
I remember he ended his pep talk by looking into the Rose Garden where the rain had stopped. He wanted to address the nation outside. “It’s more optimistic,” he said. Seeing these local campaigns and qualified candidates - so many of them women - I finally feel that optimism. 4/5
In Pennsylvania, it starts tomorrow. Please get out and vote - and if you’re in Montgomery county, I hope you’ll support @mad4pa. 5/5.
