Flip Five

Normal Americans want five Republicans to flip their votes to form a stable, bipartisan governing majority in the House of Representatives.

Let’s make them.

 

Five Votes from a Stable House


We are at our best when looking past differences to reach out and build a big tent Democratic Party that can win a majority. Right now, winning a majority means flipping five of the 11 Republican “Problem Solvers” who represent Biden-won districts and combining them with the united bloc of 212 Democrats led by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

These are vulnerable Republicans who have partnered with centrist leaders to publicly pledge to work across party lines - including specifically when setting rules and speakerships. This was their promise to voters, and election analysts have shown that the candidates making these bipartisan Problem Solving promises receive a 3% increase in vote share. But now they are threatening to quit this bipartisan effort, blaming Democratic Problem Solvers and siding with Marjorie Taylor Greene & Lauren Boebert over the promises they made to their voters.

They must be informed of their leverage, persuaded to use it, and then defeated if they do not.

They need to know they can flip their votes - and if they don’t, their voters must know about it. And then they must be defeated.

The math to a House majority is clear: any GOP Problem Solver can get four colleagues (half the size of the Matt Gaetz crew) to create a bipartisan governing majority. Democrats like Marie G Perez are already calling for such an arrangement. 

The electoral math is also clear: four Republican Problem Solvers represent districts Biden won by 10% or more. They cannot win these districts without bipartisan credentials. But their voters need to know.

Here’s what you can do:

  1. Tell Them: call their offices (numbers above) to urge them to vote across party lines for sanity

  2. Donate to Persuade: WelcomePAC is running ads targeting the persuadable voters in their districts, encouraging them to flip

  3. Donate to Defeat: if they don’t flip, we need big-tent Democratic nominees like Janelle Bynum in Oregon’s 5th congressional district


About WelcomePAC

In 2022, we believed Americans would overcome the “Red Wave” if given a choice. So we launched WelcomePAC to support Democrats who could reach disaffected Republicans in previously uncontested races, raising more than $2m in less than a year. The New York Times called us a “Centrist Insurgency”, and we are looking for more ways to leverage swing voters on behalf of democracy in the 2024 cycle.
