You may have already noticed an uptick in emails from political candidates across the country saying that they’re approaching one of the biggest fundraising deadlines of the year to date on Friday.
They’re not wrong, folks.
A lot of these emails have even come from us.
We want to pull back the curtain and tell you what all the urgency is about: At the end of each month, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) requires our campaign to release our fundraising numbers to the public. Everyone -- Donald Trump, the media -- will be watching to gauge the overall strength of the movement we’re building.
But right now, we’re at risk of falling incredibly short. Take a look:

To get to 100%, we’re relying on emails (like this!) and real people (like you!) to chip in $25 -- or as much as you can spare -- today. Will you please chip in?
All eyes are on our campaign, folks. Last month, Donald Trump OUTRAISED us, raking in $76 million -- over $50 million of it coming from a single gala full of billionaires in Palm Beach.
We simply can’t fall behind Trump for a second month in a row. So, to get back on track, we’ve set a real (and ambitious) goal. It’s a very real number that we have to hit to hire more staff, grow our grassroots team, and counter GOP attacks.
We need your help to make up for the ground we lost in the first half of May and show that Joe Biden has massive support nationwide. We’re looking for 56 more donations from Philadelphia before midnight tonight. So please, will you rush $25 now?
Thank you, friend. We couldn’t run this campaign without you.
