A top Democrat claimed he did not know if there would be an election in 2028 and called for activist organizations to take to “the streets” to “save our democracy” while trying to sell his book.
During a recent book tour stop, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), a potential presidential candidate, said that money should be funneled to leftist activists to ensure that upcoming elections are “fair and free.” Murphy made the dramatic claims during a Q&amp;A with ex-NBC journalist Katie Couric at Judson Memorial Church in Manhattan pushing his book &#8220;Crisis of the Common Good.&#8221; 
When asked if he had any national aspirations, Murphy said, “Here’s the honest truth: I don’t know that there’s going to be an election in 2028.” 
Couric interjected, “Don’t say that.” 
“I think there is, but we gotta do the work,” Murphy replied. “And so, I am spending all of my time trying to make sure that democracy still exists, trying to preserve what we have.”
He made the comments on May 26, just weeks after another attempted assassination against President Donald Trump.
At the same time as he warned of a dystopian future without elections, Murphy lambasted conservatives for believing that leftism was an “existential threat to the country&#8221; and called for Democrats to vote to “permanently eliminate [Trump’s] movement from positions of power.”
Murphy added that he had spent much of the money he raised on funding leftist activist organizations. 
“I’ve been spending most all of my money that I raise online in the last year and a half, sending out grants to local citizen-led organizations all over the country that are protesting what Donald Trump is doing and mobilizing citizens against his corruption and thievery,” he said. 
“We shouldn’t be raising money and hoarding it for the next election. We should be raising money and putting it immediately out onto the streets to help save our democracy,” Murphy added. 
Murphy was <a href="https://chrismurphy.com/american-mobilization-project/">referring</a> to his “American Mobilization Project,” which backs leftist organizations that participate in &#8220;on-the-ground organizing” that fight against Republican policies or push leftist voting and immigration initiatives. 
For example, the project has supported the group &#8220;Indivisible,&#8221; which <a href="https://indivisible.org/">describes</a> itself as an organization fighting “against this fascistic clown show of a regime” and calls for defunding ICE and Border Patrol. 
Indivisible <a href="https://indivisible.org/actions/demand-your-representative-reject-detention-center-escalations/">designed</a> a script for activists to call lawmakers and tell them to &#8220;use their power as my elected official to demand dignity for immigrants and reject any expansions to Trump’s mass detention and deportation agenda.&#8221;
Multiple groups supported by Murphy&#8217;s project do immigration legal work. This includes the Minneapolis-based Advocates for Human Rights, which provides legal services to “people in immigration detention,” and American Gateways, which gives free legal services at the immigration courthouse in San Antonio, Texas. 
Another group is the Wisconsin-based Raìces Acciòn, which works to train “the next generation of bilingual organizers to build sustained political power up and down the ballot.”
Other groups protest cuts to welfare programs and public education or push young people to participate in political activism.
