The stakes have never been higher.

FIGHTING BACK AGAINST TRUMP

​Donald Trump is corrupt, dangerous, and abusing the power of the presidency. Joe Morelle is fighting back by supporting efforts to remove Trump from office through impeachment or the 25th Amendment, leading legal challenges to Trump's unconstitutional overreach, and standing up for our democracy. While too many politicians stay silent, Joe is taking the fight directly to Trump and the Republicans enabling him.
