John,

I joined MSNBC to discuss the Democratic National Convention and our path forward to electing Kamala Harris on November 5.

Here is the reality:

This is a David versus Goliath moment. We are running as the underdog. We are 3 points down and the clock is running out.

So John, can you please send an urgent $10 contribution to my campaign? My August fundraising deadline is at midnight tonight, and we are still a bit short of our goal. Your donation will make a difference.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Every single step of this victory has to be earned. This is not a time to rest.

Everybody has to understand that democracy is not a spectator sport — we need you on the field, not sitting on the sidelines.

We have to dig in, press hard, and keep driving forward, and that means we need everybody — including you, John. So if you can afford it (and only if you can afford it!), before my August fundraising deadline at midnight tonight, can you pitch in?

From Newark, New Jersey to every corner of this country, we cannot afford to rest if we are going to elect Kamala Harris with the Democratic majorities in Congress to build the more just, loving nation we deserve.

With your support today, I know that is what we will do.

With love and gratitude,

Cory
