.@JECDems reports Americans have now paid $56.4 billion more for gas since the start of Trump's unauthorized war with Iran. That's $477 more per household. Hardworking Americans deserve better. We must focus on lowering prices and putting working families first.

We're making sure local election officials know the law and cannot be intimidated by efforts to take over polling places. Whatever President Trump tries this fall, we will not let him succeed in silencing American voters.

Mail-in voting has been a safe and secure part of our elections since the Civil War. In 2024, 45 million Americans voted by mail. Even President Trump has voted by mail. The Trump agenda is unpopular and he wants to make it harder for Americans to vote.
