Not afraid

Friend -- Even in a campaign as busy as this one, you get to see small moments that reveal a candidate's character. Today, I want to describe one such moment involving one of the best men I've ever known: my running mate, Tim Kaine. Last week, Tim visited the memorial at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando along with our friends Gabby Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly. After Tim laid a bouquet of white roses at the memorial, he approached the reporters there with tears in his eyes. "This is a weird thing to say, but I always hoped that the Virginia Tech one would be the worst one ever," he told them. He was talking about the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech that occurred while he was governor -- a tragedy that had, until Orlando, been the worst mass shooting in our nation's history. Tim has said that the day of that shooting was the worst of his life. In the wake of that attack, Tim took on the NRA in their own backyard to try to prevent gun violence -- and despite incredible odds and near-constant attacks from the gun lobby, Tim won some important victories. That's one of the reasons I picked him to be my running mate: I know that when things get really tough, he's not afraid to stand up and do the right thing, even if it could cost him politically. He showed us that same grit on the debate stage last night. I was proud to watch Tim take on Mike Pence and hold him accountable for Donald Trump's appalling campaign, on issues from gun violence prevention to nuclear non-proliferation to women's reproductive rights. I'm so grateful to have Tim on this team -- and I feel the same way about you. Governance is about teamwork, and it's going to take all of us working together to win this campaign and make life better for American families. With just 34 days left, I'm under no illusions that we have this race in the bag. This is going to be a close election, and the stakes are unfathomably high. So today, I'm asking you to fight just as hard as Tim did last night, as hard as he and I will always fight for you. We can't afford to take this for granted. We must do everything we can to win in November and keep our country moving forward. If you've saved your payment information, your donation will go through immediately.
