I need you to know the truth about why I ask you for money:

Trump and his allies at the RNC are already pumping tens of millions of dollars into the states that are going to decide this election in November.

You're such an important member of our party, so I'm coming to you today to ask if you'd please split your very first $10 contribution between my campaign and the DNC. But first, I need you to know something about me: Pat, I don't take these asks for money lightly. Especially right now, when there are so many charities, health organizations, and important advocacy groups that deserve our support. And the needs of yourself and your family have never been more important. But, the hard truth is that, even despite our party's recent fundraising success driven by grassroots donors like you, Donald Trump and Republicans still maintain a hefty cash-on-hand advantage over my campaign. And that's why I have to ask for your $10 donation today. Trump and his allies at the RNC are already pumping tens of millions of dollars into the states that are going to decide this election in November. If you live in a swing state, you're probably seeing attack ads against me on a daily basis. But, I'm not fazed, because I know you've got my back, Pat. In fact, thanks to grassroots supporters like you, we've raised enough money to already get our own ads up on the air and fight back against Donald Trump's dangerous lies. Now, we have to spread our own positive, honest message far and wide and elect Democrats in every corner of our country -- and the DNC and I need your help to do it. So I mean it when I say that a $10 donation from you today -- split between my campaign and the DNC -- will play a tangible role in Democrats winning the most important election of our lifetimes. Can you pitch in $10 right now? DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 DONATE: $250 Donate another amount I know we ask for contributions a lot, but the support and generosity from this grassroots team is the only way that we are going to defeat Donald Trump and Republicans nationwide. And that's the truth. So thanks again for being on this team with me, Pat. I'm so grateful for your commitment to helping Democrats at every level win this year. The fate of our nation is counting on us. Let's keep fighting, Joe Joe Biden P.S. I know that right now isn't the easiest time to donate to a campaign and that every dollar contributed to my campaign or the DNC is one that could be easily spent elsewhere. That is why I can assure you that I've never -- not once -- taken your support for granted, Pat. Please, if you can, split a $10 investment between my campaign and the DNC today.
