Take it from me: America's leadership and reputation on the global stage are on the ballot this year.

Pat, take it from me: America's leadership and reputation on the global stage are on the ballot this year. We deserve a president who is looked up to, not one who is laughed at. With only weeks until the first ballots are cast in this election, our window is closing to elect Joe Biden and Democrats to avoid another four years of international chaos and catastrophe. Please let me explain how Joe Biden's mature leadership and seasoned diplomatic experience will help America lead the world by example and make us safer and then donate $7 before Monday's deadline to elect Joe Biden and Democrats nationwide. None of the world's most challenging issues can be solved by one country alone -- not nuclear weapons, not China, and certainly not global climate change. Even the most powerful nation needs some friends on this planet. Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama understood that and left office with a growing economy, preparations for a pandemic, and alliances that worked to advance America's interests. Trump inherited all of that, and he squandered it. We need a leader capable of fixing our broken economy, addressing the natural disasters that will only worsen with climate change, and facing COVID-19 head-on. I know Joe as a person and a public servant -- from our years in the Senate to our years in the Situation Room, Pat, I know he's more than up for the immensity of the job. But we only have limited time left to help him and Democrats everywhere win their races -- and it's going to take all of us doing our part in critical moments like this one to ensure they have the resources to do so. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and countless Democrats need our urgent support, so I'm asking: Will you donate $7 to the DNC before this month's FEC deadline to keep them on track to win on November 3? DONATE: $7 DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 Donate another amount For nearly four chaotic years, Trump has undermined our alliances and torn at the fabric of our democracy. Not only has Joe Biden outlined his plan to build America back better, he has the experience and the respect of his peers to back it up. I've seen firsthand the incredible work that Joe Biden is capable of, but winning the presidency simply can't be done alone. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats running to move our country forward need a strong DNC to carry them through Election Day. Now, with just three days before this month's critical fundraising deadline, is the time to throw your support behind the Biden-Harris ticket and Democrats everywhere. Donate $7 to the DNC to help elect Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats who are fighting to rebuild our country. This Monday is the first FEC deadline since we've had our full Democratic ticket, so we can't risk falling short in this tremendous moment for our party. Thank you for your dedication to doing the hard work. We can win this if we do it together. John John Kerry 68th Secretary of State Former U.S. Senator from Massachusetts P.S. We've seen what Donald Trump has done with his time in the White House, and we've seen what Joe Biden did with his. The choice is clear: Donate $7 to the DNC before Monday's FEC deadline to elect Joe Biden, a strong and dedicated public servant, as well as Democrats nationwide.
