Look, friend: Florida's Senate race will make or break Senate Democrats' chances of keeping our razor-thin, 50-seat majority.

With polls showing her just one point down, and the race UPGRADED from "Lean Red" to "Toss Up," Debbie's closer than ever to flipping Florida blue.

But against a filthy-rich opponent, who'll pay any price to stay in power and has already outspent her nearly 4-to-1 in Florida's ad market, she can't afford to miss her urgent $500,000 midnight goal tonight.

If Rick Scott sees she doesn't have the support to reach this big of a goal, he'll know she won't have the resources to overcome another of his exorbitant ad spending-sprees, let alone unseat him.

So I'm personally asking you — will you please chip in $5 or more now to help Debbie overcome his campaign cash, win in Florida, and save our Senate majority while there's still time left?

But let me explain why I'm more fired up than ever to help Debbie win:

After Donald Trump declared himself a "leader" on the issue of IVF, Senate Democrats brought the Right to IVF Act back to the Senate floor for a vote. 

With how much the GOP has postured on supporting IVF since they blocked it in June — like Rick Scott, who lied about supporting IVF in his ads after voting against protecting IVF — we gave them one last chance to prove it before the general election.

Well surprise, surprise: blocked again. And Scott voted NO.

After this fiasco alone, America deserves better than a GOP-led Senate.

The state of Florida deserves better than Rick Scott.

And absolutely no one deserves to live under a Republican Senate majority with him in charge.

But if Debbie falls short of her $500,000 goal in the final quarter of this race, not only could the Senate flip red; Rick Scott could succeed Mitch McConnell as the next GOP leader, and me as majority leader, too.

So, friend, can I count on you to step up for both Debbie and our Democratic majority tonight? If so, then please: Rush $5, $25, or anything by midnight to help flip Florida and keep the Senate blue.

Thanks for reading, and for all you do,

Majority Leader, U.S. Senate
