As I wrote last week, The Downballot is taking some unexpected time off—a handful of late-summer Fridays—as I recover from reconstructive knee surgery. For that reason, we regret that we don’t have a Morning Digest for you today, but rest assured that we will tomorrow.
In the meantime, if you’d like to help us grow so that we can hire a third writer next year—and minimize blackout days like this—we’d be extremely grateful for your support. Upgrading to a paid subscription costs just $9 a month, but if you subscribe annually, it’s an even cheaper $75 a year. That works out to just $6.25 a month, or about 30¢ for every newsletter we crank out.
If you prefer, you can also donate on our ActBlue page. We never share your personal information (except when required by law), and we are the only entity listed on that page, so your contribution will go entirely to us (minus any credit card fees).
And if you enjoy participating in our comment section, feel free to use this post as an open thread to discuss today’s news!
Thank you so much,
David
