“The Democratic Party has a deeply motivated base and a clear advantage on the generic congressional ballot ahead of this fall’s midterms despite dismal impressions of its current leaders in Congress,” according to a new CNN poll.

“Democratic registered voters are far more motivated right now than Republicans. While the party has a 5-point edge on the generic ballot, among those who say they’re deeply motivated to vote, that advantage expands to a massive 16 points.”

Press Release

WASHINGTON — Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi today announced that he will soon be introducing the Free Elections Act in direct response to President Donald Trump’s recent comments calling for Republicans to “take over” and “nationalize” American elections. The legislation will reinforce and clarify longstanding constitutional and statutory protections that already prohibit the use of federal power to interfere with U.S. elections—making unmistakably clear that elections belong to the people, not to any political party or president.
