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

Here's the truth:

May is an FEC fundraising deadline month.

This means that at the end of the month we will be required to report how much money we've raised and how many donations we've received.

Everyone will be watching -- the press, our opponents, and even supporters will be waiting to see the strength of our campaign.

We've received a huge number of individual donations so far -- people of all backgrounds and from all communities. It's a big part of how we've been able to withstand the millions and millions of dollars Republicans are spending on attack ads.

But today, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris need you. Because this is the most important fundraising deadline of the presidential election yet.

Can President Biden count on you to contribute $5, $10, or whatever you can afford today? The amount doesn't even matter as much as the donation itself, because it will all add up when we're in it together.

Thank you in advance for chipping in. It means a lot to our chances.

Team Biden-Harris
