Ex-CNN Anchor John Avlon Announces Congressional Run
HuffPost
“Democrats can’t afford to lose this fight,” he said.
Former CNN political analyst and anchor John Avlon announced on Wednesday that he is running for Congress in New York’s First Congressional District after departing the network earlier this month.
In a video posted on social media declaring his candidacy, Avlon sounded the alarm on the state of the U.S. democracy.
“Right now, our democracy’s in danger,” he said. “This election is not a drill. It’s up to all of us to step up and get off the sidelines.”
Avlon added that “Democrats can’t afford to lose this fight” and need to unite to fight back against Trump and his supporters on Capitol Hill.
“There’s just too much at stake for the country and the community that I love,” Avlon said. “We need to build the broadest possible coalition to defeat Donald Trump, defend our democracy, and win back the House from his MAGA minions who don’t even seem interested in solving problems anymore. Together, we can flip this seat.”
