It has been less than 24 hours since Kamala and I announced that we’re running for reelection.
I’m so grateful for the outpouring of support we’ve received from folks in Pennsylvania and in every corner of the country. I really mean it.
We have a long road ahead of us to Election Day. Kamala and I are depending on this team to stand with us today and on November 5, 2024.
If you haven’t gotten a chance to pitch in to support our campaign yet, I'd really appreciate it if you’d contribute $25 today.
We’ll win this thing together,
-Joe

Subject: I'm officially running for reelection
Every generation has a moment where they have had to stand up for democracy. To stand up for their fundamental freedoms. I believe this is ours.
That is why I am running for reelection as president of the United States. If you’re with me, I hope you’ll let me explain exactly why this campaign matters so much and then consider pitching in to support it.
When I ran in 2020, I said we were in a battle for the soul of America.
We still are. The question before us now is whether we’ll have more freedoms or fewer in the years ahead. More rights, or fewer. I know what I want the answer to be.
Giving folks a little more breathing room. Making your life a little freer. This has been the work of my lifetime. And we’ve made real progress these last few years.
But, across the country, MAGA extremists are lining up to take us backward. They’re trying to gut Social Security and Medicare. They’re trying to raise prices on prescription drugs and repeal the cost-saving measures we’ve put in place for the hardworking families, all while saying we have enough money to cut taxes for the rich.
They’re telling women what health care choices they’re allowed to make. They’re telling you what books should be in your kids' schools. And if you don’t like it, tough luck: They’re going after your right to vote, too.
But we can stop them. There is nothing beyond our capacity if we do it together. So, I am asking: Will you chip in $25 today to get our campaign off to a strong start?

There’s a choice ahead of us. Do we continue to build a future full of opportunities for you and families like yours? Or will we turn the clock back? But here’s the honest truth: I’m more optimistic than I’ve ever been. And it’s because I’ve seen what this team can do when it comes together.
In 2020, more than 6 million grassroots supporters just like you helped propel our campaign to victory.
I’m so proud of the progress we made. We took our economy back from the brink, helping create more than 12 million jobs. We took aggressive action to bring costs down for working people -- all while making corporations pay their fair share. We took the strongest action on climate in our nation’s history -- I’m not kidding.
But there’s still so much left to be done. Where we passed the first major federal legislation on gun violence in decades, we now need to finish the job and ban assault weapons. Where we capped insulin at $35 for Medicare recipients, we need to cap it for everyone. And where we finally made the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share, we need to do the same for billionaires.
We’ve got a lot of work to do and a lot of progress we’ve got to make in the second term. We’ve got to finish the job. And I can only do that with you behind me.
It’d mean the world to me to have you with me in this fight. If you’re in, will you pitch in $25 or even just a few bucks in support of my campaign today?
Thank you for standing with us. I’ll see you on the campaign trail.
-Joe
