Friend — last week Donald Trump held a live, nationally broadcast town hall right here in Florida.

None of what Trump had to say surprised me: more lies, more conspiracies, more grievances. This is who my opponent, Rick Scott, supports to be president of the United States. And, well, it's because Rick Scott has been and always will be a puppet for Donald Trump. 

The truth is both Rick Scott and Donald Trump are scared about what's happening here in Florida. We are on the cusp of defeating Rick Scott, denying Trump what would be his handpicked Senate Majority Leader, and defending our Democratic Senate majority.

The momentum is on our side, which is why Rick Scott is doing whatever he can to stop us. He dropped $10 MILLION on TV ads to defeat me, and he just loaned his campaign ANOTHER $3M. Look, we have what it takes to win — but we still haven't closed in on our $500,000 rapid-response goal to fight back. With polling showing me and Scott in a statistical dead heat, your support is needed more urgently than ever:

So please, rush a donation of $5 or whatever you can right now to help me fight Rick Scott's attack ads, win in Florida, and protect our Democratic Senate majority!
