Friend, I’ve got to be honest with you – Donald Trump choosing JD Vance is the worst thing that could've happened for our race in Ohio. Here's what you need to know:

First: Trump's choice shines a huge spotlight on Ohio, making it clear that Trump, Vance, and the entire GOP are laser-focused on replacing me with my MAGA opponent, Bernie Moreno. They know, like we do, that winning here is the key to the White House and the Senate.

Then: Our race was already being called the nastiest and the most expensive in the country, but after my opponent spoke at the RNC, even more shady super PAC money started pouring into Ohio to defeat me.

Now: National Republicans are outspending us on TV – and if we don't reach our $200,000 midnight fundraising goal, we could cede airwaves to their attacks right as we head into the final stretch of this election.

That's why I'm personally asking: Before midnight tonight, will you chip in $5 or more to help us keep our ads on the air, defeat our MAGA opponent, and keep the Senate blue?

Thanks for your support, friend.
