WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, MoveOn-endorsed candidate Representative Summer Lee (PA-12) won her primary, overcoming millions in MAGA special-interest money. Rep.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – As the Supreme Court holds oral arguments this week on twice-impeached and criminally indicted former President Donald Trump’s absurd legal argument that anyone who’s been president has “absolute immunity” from prosecution for any crimes they commit, nearly 100,000 people have signed MoveOn’s petition calling on the Supreme Court to rule against his appeal.
Said MoveOn Political Action Executive Director Rahna Epting, “Once again, Donald Trump is shamelessly looking for a bailout from the MAGA majority on the court. Nobody is above the law, and especially not Trump. A ..read more

Unstrategic Third-Party Bid Can’t Win, Will Only Hurt Biden
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In only the last few days, the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. campaign has faced a slew of challenges underscoring their deeply unstrategic and reckless third-party spoiler bid.

Here is a roundup of the latest chaos facing the Kennedy Jr. campaign:

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In response to the Arizona Supreme Court’s ruling siding with Arizona Republicans on a 160-year-old, near-total abortion ban that fails to protect people even when their health is at risk, MoveOn Political Action Executive Director Rahna Epting issued the following statement:
“Yesterday, Donald Trump said states should decide on abortion bans. Today, Arizona used a law from 1864 to ban nearly all abortions. This is the Republican plan. This is Donald Trump’s plan. They can’t run from it. They can’t hide from it. And they can’t lie to voters about it.”

“Millions of Americans are relieved that No Labels finally decided to do the right thing to keep Donald Trump out of the White House.
