Friend -

CNN recently held a Town Hall for Donald Trump and it went about as poorly as you could imagine.

He lied about topic after topic. He refused to say if he would support Ukraine in the war against Russia, reiterating his admiration for Putin as a leader. But while Democrats across the country disapproved of the event, his talk about January 6 and democracy hits differently in Michigan and many other swing states. He said January 6 was “a beautiful day,” said he’d pardon January 6 rioters, and he doubled down on his assertion that there was election fraud in 2020 and that he would only accept the results of the 2024 election “if he thinks it’s an honest election.”

In Michigan, when Trump won in 2016, and when we had problems with militias and extremist violence long before January 6, Trump’s comments again give license to come out from the shadows and organize, activate, and incite violence and hate at home. While the rally may have been tweeted about across the country, it's in swing states like Michigan where we feel the impacts concretely — and this is on top of growing instances of hate happening across the state already.

It seems clear to me, and I imagine many of you reading this right now, that we can’t afford another Trump presidency in 2024.

That’s why it’s even more important that we win races in swing states like ours in 2024.

We need to make sure there is a Democratic majority in the Senate to be a check — possibly a last check — in the event Trump wins. If he doesn’t, we’ll still need this majority to continue delivering for the American people.

Winning a race like this is going to take a lot of TV ads, events, volunteers, you name it. And people are going to be looking to us to make sure we run a serious operation. I can’t do it alone, so today I’m asking:

Can you please chip in $3 to our campaign today to help us win this Senate race and defend our majority in the Senate? We’re doing all we can to secure a win in this critical swing state and your support goes a long way towards making that possible.

Thank you,
