Congratulations @SamForstag on your victory tonight! A smokejumper and union leader just flipped MT-01, beating Republican Aaron Flint in a district Trump carried by 11 points in 2024. He ran on a progressive platform, supporting systemic change:
Making corporations pay their fair share: “Repeal Congressional Republicans’ tax cuts for the ultra-rich. The vast majority of the benefits in the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ went to corporations and the ultra-wealthy.”

And getting big money out of politics: “We need to overturn Citizens United to stop this flood of dark money that is coming into our elections. We should ban corporate PAC spending. That's why I'm not taking a dollar from corporate PACs, unlike my opponent here. We should ban super PACs altogether, and frankly we should revisit the individual contribution limits cuz most of my friends can't afford to pitch in 3,500 bucks a piece.”

Replying to @AbdulElSayed
@AbdulElSayed’s victory changes what is possible in the 2028 presidential race. A bold anti-establishment economic fighter can win battleground states. Period. He championed unapologetic progressive policy while running against millions in outside spending:
Getting money out of politics: “When we win, I’m going to the Senate to overturn Citizens United, ban outside spending through super PACs, and move to public funding of elections.”

Taking on monopolies and fighting to put more money in your pocket: “In the Senate, I will fight against corporate tax breaks and to enforce antitrust laws, so corporations can’t keep buying each other and price-gouging us.”

OH-07, congratulations on electing @bpforcongress as your new Congressman! As a union ironworker, father, and former councilman, Brian ran for Congress to fight for hardworking Ohioans, and the following policies shaped his campaign:
He will work to make health care affordable: “I support bringing down the cost of prescription drugs by letting Medicare negotiate with drug companies. Americans pay way too much for prescription drugs, and we should crack down on drug companies making huge profits while Americans struggle to afford medicine they need.”

He opposes the costly war in Iran: “I will work to bring down costs by ending the war in Iran and the blanket tariffs.”

Congratulations, Minnesota, on electing @PeggyFlanagan! Here are some bold policies from her campaign that were central parts of her message:
On war and costs: “And we are going to stop Donald Trump’s billion-dollar-a-day illegal war in Iran and the crushing gas and fertilizer prices.”

On taxing the wealthy: “Repealing, I think, the tax cuts for the wealthiest people in this country that are in the big beautiful bill, or as I call it, the big ugly bill, would be at the top of my list.”

Maine just sent a fighter for the working class to the Senate. Congratulations @troyjackson207 on your victory! A fifth-generation logger, Troy beat Republican incumbent Susan Collins by campaigning on a platform supporting progressive policies that challenge the Democratic establishment:
Working to abolish ICE: “I’ve been saying for months now we should defund ICE. We should abolish ICE.”

And notably criticizing Schumer’s leadership: “The Democratic Party needs to have a different approach, getting people back in the party, getting working-class, everyday people back in the party, and I don't believe it's going to happen with Senator Schumer."
