Friend – Donald Trump attacked me on Truth Social, calling me "one of the worst in the Senate!" It's never been more clear: The GOP is doing everything it can to replace me with a Trump yes-man and flip the Senate red.

To be clear, I'm not scared of their attacks. But I do know that where Trump goes GOP dark money follows – and if I'm being attacked this early in the race, we're in for a long, challenging and expensive road ahead.

That's why I'm urgently asking for your grassroots support so I can fight back, friend: Will you split $15 or more between me and MeidasTouch today to help me stand up to the GOP's attacks and protect Ohio's critical seat?

CNN analysts and FiveThirtyEight are calling me one of the most vulnerable senators on the ballot, and Politico analysts are reporting Ohio could decide Senate control. The truth is: I can't win this battleground race and defend Ohio from right-wing attacks without your grassroots support.

So please, will you donate $15 or more right now to help me prove the pundits wrong, win in Ohio and defend our Democratic Senate majority?

Thanks for helping me fight back against the GOP attacks and protect this critical seat. It means so much to have you on my team.
