Friends --

In just a moment, we are going to ask you to make your first online contribution to President Biden's reelection campaign. Please give us a chance to explain why this request -- especially today -- is so important.

Here is the truth:

In less than 48 hours, we close the books on what could be the last FEC fundraising deadline before Donald Trump officially secures the Republican nomination.

After this deadline, we're legally required to report not just how much money we've raised, but how many people have contributed will be public as well.

Everyone will be watching. The press, the Trump campaign, and critical outside spending organizations ready with potential attack ads against the President.

We need to send a message about the strength of our grassroots campaign -- the kind of message that can alter the media coverage of this race and give us some more momentum.

But more important than that, reaching our goals is what we need to do in order to win. We already have ads running and our opponents do as well. So we need to consistently hit our numbers or we risk falling behind. And in a race as close as ours, that would be devastating.

We don't need you to give to every email we send, but a well-timed donation before this FEC deadline comes to a close would mean a lot.

Can President Biden and Vice President Harris count on you to make a $25 contribution to our campaign before our official FEC fundraising deadline in just a few days?

Thank you in advance for chipping in before this critical FEC deadline.

Biden for President
