Friend, Donald Trump officially announced J.D. Vance as his running mate – and now, they're holding a rally in Michigan today to mobilize their MAGA base.

It's no secret why Trump and Vance are headed to my home state as their first stop after the Republican National Convention: They're doing everything they can to take back the White House and flip the Senate red.

Defending our Senate majority isn’t going to be easy. Democrats are facing an uphill battle right now, with polling showing key races locked in dead heats. But, friend, I know what it takes to beat Trump and his MAGA cronies. It takes grassroots folks like you doing your part to fuel our campaigns to victory in crucial states like Michigan, Nevada, and Ohio – $5, $25, or $50 at a time.

So please, can I count on your help to reach our $20,000 emergency fundraising goal to stop Trump and the GOP?

As chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, it is my top priority to make sure that our Democratic candidates have the resources and the backing they need to win in tough states across the country. But honestly, we have a difficult road ahead of us.

The GOP's dark-money allies are already spending record-breaking amounts to buy back the White House and the Senate, which means each and every grassroots dollar will make a difference. There's no time to waste. If we're going to pull ahead and win, we need to start building up resources right here, right now – but we're still way short of our $20,000 emergency goal.

Please, can you rush $5 or more right now to make sure Democrats have the resources to defend the White House and the Senate from Donald Trump and his MAGA cronies?

Thank you for making a difference.

Gary
