Folks, I'm going to be upfront, in this email I'm going to ask for a donation to power my campaign against Donald Trump. But first, let me explain a little bit why your contribution is one of my most powerful tools in the fight for the soul of this nation.

Saturday marks one year since we launched this campaign for President. We went from being a frontrunner to a longshot, to the presumptive nominee.

Even when pundits said the end was near, one thing made sure it wasn't: grassroots donors keeping the faith and keeping the lights on.

Because that's the truth, I'm serious. This campaign has always been powered by grassroots donors -- people like you, chipping into emails like this one. Last month online donations were 70% of our total fundraising.

And while asking for money is one of the worst parts of the job, I know that emails like this are necessary. President Trump and his Republican allies raised $212 million last quarter, and it will be an uphill battle to catch up, but I'm reaching out to you so we can try.

I was reviewing your record, and I want to thank you for being a supporter. I know you may not be able to donate right now, and that's okay, but if you can, I'd like to ask you for your first $5 donation today. I'm calling first-time donors this week, and if you chip in through this link there's a chance I could give you a call:

I have faith that grassroots fundraising will be the key to beating Trump, because I've seen it this whole campaign.

I know we ask for money a lot, but I hope that you can see how important donors like you are to this campaign. Winning the battle for the soul of this nation is not a one-person job. I'm grateful to you for joining the fight, however you can help.

So if you can help with $5 today, please do. I may give you a call to thank you myself:

All my best,

Joe Biden
