John,

Here’s the reality: If Donald Trump and JD Vance win Minnesota in November, they win the White House.

The next four months are crucial, and the work Minnesota DFLers do will determine the future of our state and country generations. It’s a lot of pressure, but I need to be upfront with you about the stakes we’re facing.

Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance as his running mate underscores his commitment to advancing his extreme Project 2025 agenda from the White House. Our rights, our values, and critical programs like Social Security and Medicare are on the line this November, and only we can protect them. 

With two recent polls showing Trump either leading or tied in Minnesota, the Trump campaign is going all in to flip us red for the first time since 1972. Our team is working tirelessly to hold the line against a flood of misinformation and attack ads, but we need your support to keep it up.

That’s why I’m reaching out to you personally this morning. Nora just sent me our latest fundraising numbers, and we’re still lagging behind our goal for this week. To catch up, we still need at least 500 more people to pitch in by midnight.

Will you make a donation by 11:59 pm tonight to help us build the campaign we need to keep Minnesota blue and Trump and Vance out of the White House?

Thank you for making our work possible.
