Reason for hope!

          Trump was the GOP presidential nominee twice.

          He lost the popular vote in 2016 by 2.8 million votes.

          He lost the popular vote in 2020 by 6.8 million votes.

          During Trump’s tenure, Republicans lost control of the House and Senate.

          He is the only president to be impeached twice.

          He is the only president whose favorability ratings never rose above 50%.

          His average approval rating was 4 points lower than any of his predecessors.

          On Thursday, Senator Lindsey Graham sided with Trump over Liz Cheney, saying, “The Republican Party can’t grow without Trump.”

          Between Trump’s inauguration and departure from office, the percentage of voters identifying as Republican dropped from 31% to 26%.

          We have every reason to be hopeful, but no reason to be complacent!

          Have a great weekend, everyone! Talk to you on Monday!
