Here's where we're at:

FIRST: Donald Trump and the RNC just announced a record fundraising number in their latest FEC report -- out-raising the Biden campaign and DNC.

THEN: They said they were going to use that money to run a massive ad campaign coinciding with next week's presidential debate.

NOW: That debate is less than a week away and we are trying to close the fundraising gap so Democrats will have the resources we need to beat Trump and counter the RNC's spending.

But the truth is, it is going to take lots and lots of Democrats who understand the importance of this moment to step up and help.

We do not expect you to donate to every email we send, but given the critical nature of this moment and the closeness of the polls, we hope you'll contribute to this one:

If defeating Trump and MAGA Republicans this November is worth $7 to you, that is the donation we are asking you to make to the Democratic National Committee today.

Every single donation matters. It adds up fast when Democrats across the country are taking action to win this November.

Thank you,

The Democratic Party
