I don't think I need to tell folks like you how important it is that we take back the White House in November, Pat -- Donald Trump has done more damage in four years than we could have imagined. But make no mistake: Flipping the Senate is just as important.
Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans have used the past four years to give tax breaks to the wealthy, scheme how to take health care away from millions, and confirm scores of unqualified or extreme judicial and executive nominees. If given control of the Senate for another term, I shudder at the thought of what they'll try to do next.
It's on each and every one of us to ensure that Democrats nationwide have the resources they need to take on Republicans and win. We're leading races once thought unwinnable for Democrats this year, and we've got some truly incredible candidates ready to serve our country. This expanded map presents a huge opportunity for our party -- but it also means our candidates need more resources than ever before, and earlier. That's why I'm coming to you today with an important ask:
If you're able, will you make a $7 contribution to the DNC? With less than three months until Election Day, time is running out to make investments on the ground that will help Democrats win the Oval Office and flip the Senate in November.
Right now, Democrats in the Senate are too often being forced to play defense -- we're fighting hard to protect our values and trying to stop Republicans from passing the most dangerous elements of their agenda. But it's a numbers game, and right now we just don't have the votes. If there is to be meaningful progress on the issues that matter most, we need to take back the Senate this November.
If Joe Biden wins in November, he'll need a Democratic Senate. We must do everything in our power in these next 73 days to ensure that Democrats up and down the ballot have a fighting chance -- and as a former DNC chair, I know just how critical it is that we provide candidates with the resources they need at this stage of the race. So I have to ask again, Pat:
Will you donate $7 to the DNC today? So many fantastic Democratic Senate candidates are now leading in tough races, and they're counting on investments from folks like you to give them the resources to compete through this final stretch.
Thanks for all that you're doing, and please stay safe.

P.S. Democratic Senate candidates have a real shot at winning in battleground states like Maine, Arizona, and Colorado, but they'll need our help. I hope you'll chip in $7 if you're ready to flip the Senate and take away Mitch McConnell's majority.
