Help us narrow the gap

I want to give you an update on Trump's fundraising.

Pat, You've been hearing a lot about the importance of campaign fundraising recently, and I wanted to take a second to explain more about a big piece of that: Our opponents' massive fundraising lead. Donald Trump and the RNC have more than $240 million in the bank for the general election. That's a historically unparalleled number -- in huge part because of when they started. At every turn, Trump has used his office as an opportunity to campaign instead of lead, and he's already begun to spend his war chest on attack ads against Joe Biden. We've always known that Democrats don't need to match Trump's fundraising numbers dollar for dollar, but we can't afford to fall further behind and let our candidates face Republican attacks without our full support. We've built an incredibly strong Democratic Party infrastructure in the last three years, and we're in a good position to capitalize on these efforts as we get closer to November. That said, our financial disadvantage puts us in a tough position. A lack of resources means we're less able to plan ahead and act strategically, and that could have major consequences for our presidential nominee and Democrats down the ballot. That's why I'm asking you to do something important today: Will you make a $7 donation to the DNC today to close the gap on Trump's fundraising lead and help Joe Biden and Democrats in competitive races fight back? Every bit helps. DONATE: $7 DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 Donate another amount Since Tom Perez took over as chair in early 2017, the DNC has made unprecedented investments in organizing, data and technology infrastructure, and voter protection efforts. We know that the presidential election is likely to be an incredibly close race, and with so many House and Senate seats up for grabs, we can't risk not fully funding these critical programs. That's where you come in, Pat. Grassroots supporters like you are the lifeblood of the Democratic Party, and victories up and down the ballot this November require your early support. With just 184 days until the most consequential election of our lifetimes, we need Democrats like you to commit to our shared goals now, while there's still time to make a difference. Can I count on your $7 today? Thanks and stay safe, Patrick Patrick Stevenson Chief Mobilization Officer Democratic National Committee P.S. Trump's fundraising advantage is arguably the single biggest reason he could be reelected. The good news: You can fight back, Pat. Make a $7 donation and help close the gap today.
