Senate Democratic campaign arm launches online hub ahead of November

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee launched a new online hub on Monday aimed at engaging with voters and candidates ahead of November's general elections.

FlipTheSenate.com, which was first shared with The Hill, will help voters register to vote, create a voter protection program, and open field offices in critical states across the country. Additionally, viewers will be able to find out more information about volunteering.

“In the last week, we saw how Senate Republicans once again failed yet another basic test of leadership when they refused to hold the president accountable for using force against peaceful protesters for a photo op," DSCC chairwoman and Sen. Catherine Cortez-Masto (D-Nev.) said in a statement to The Hill.

"And under Mitch McConnell’s leadership, Senate Republicans have voted to gut protections for pre-existing conditions, blocked prescription drug reform, and undermined desperately needed relief for hospitals, workers, and state and local governments on the front lines of this pandemic," she continued. "It’s not enough to win back the White House in November -- we need to flip the Senate.”

The website is Democrats' latest effort to flip the upper chamber. The battle for the Senate, which was once seen as an uphill battle for Democrats, has tightened in recent weeks as the U.S. has been rocked by the coronavirus pandemic.
