Hi, friend — did you see me on MSNBC?

A lot has happened in the last few weeks: Vice President Kamala Harris became the official Democratic Presidential nominee running to keep Donald Trump out of the White House, bringing on Tim Walz as her running mate, and I became the official Democratic nominee for Florida's U.S. Senate seat. Now, we’re seeing a surge of grassroots momentum from Democrats across the country — I was so excited to watch this excitement grow even more at the Democratic National Convention last week.

With just 71 days left until the General Election, my team and I are doing everything we can, from traveling across the state to connect with voters, launching Spanish radio ads to fight back against Rick Scott's attack ads naming me directly during the Copa América broadcast, to filming brand-new TV ads.

That's why I was so glad to discuss these major updates with Joy Reid to spread the word nationwide about how high the stakes are in Florida's elections.

Listen: Rick Scott co-sponsored a nationwide ban on abortions, he wrote the plan to end Medicare and Social Security, and he wants to raise taxes on the middle class. This is a guy whose agenda is too extreme for even Mitch McConnell — and now he’s running to take McConnell’s place as the next Senate Republican leader.

Friend, we absolutely cannot let him become the Senate majority leader this November.

Make no mistake: Mitch McConnell's time as Senate GOP leader was one of the worst things to ever happen to the Senate. It will take years for our country and our democracy to fully recover from his decades of corruption, cronyism, extremism, and obstruction.

But Rick Scott as Senate GOP leader would be much, much worse.

He's already spent over $4 MILLION running attack ads, and he can keep writing checks from his massive fortune of almost a quarter-billion dollars. Last time around, he spent $64 million of his own fortune to buy his seat.

I'm not just up against an extremist, friend — I'm up against a multi-millionaire extremist. With this momentum on our side, we have a golden opportunity to build the resources it'll take to retire him, so long as I can count on your help. Will you please rush $5 to help me build a grassroots campaign that can defeat Scott's fortune, flip Florida blue, and stop the GOP's anti-choice extremism in Florida and across the nation?

Thank you for being a part of this movement to turn the tides in Florida.

Debbie
