The presidential primary is sucking up attention, media, money, and talent this year like never before. But we really do have to focus on the Senate if we want to see our progressive agenda enacted. And that includes protecting good progressive incumbents.

One thing Democrats could do—with basically no strategic downside—is to hammer home the message that voters should ask for and return their mail ballots as early as possible, which makes it more likely they'll be included in tallies on election night.
