I have to control myself when it comes to donating to Democratic causes because I'll empty my bank account if I'm not careful.

But I had to donate to Lisa Blunt Rochester's Senate campaign (Delaware). She really does need help & the Senate majority is at stake.

Please consider a donation. https://go.lisabluntrochester.com/yaVV1J

History in the Making πŸ€—

#Maryland Rep. #DavidTrone of #TotalWine gave up his safe House seat, spent more than $60 million of his fortune and lost the #Democratic primary to #AngelaAlsobrooks, who hopes to become only the third Black woman to be elected to the Senate!

And if #LisaBluntRochester of #Delaware wins her Senate contest, voters will have doubled the number of #BlackWomen elected to the Senate in #American history, and for the first time ever, two Black women will serve in the #Senate at once

And if #SarahMcBride wins, she'll be the first #trans woman elected to #Congress
