We won't mince words: NBC News has published a deeply concerning poll result for our campaign.

Donald Trump has gained five points against Vice President Harris.

John, you know our future rides on winning this election. So we're asking you directly to pitch in a few bucks before our end-of-month deadline. It's the only way we'll hit our donor goal in Philadelphia to turn out voters across the battleground states.

We checked our records and couldn't find a recent contribution on file for you. So, we're lowering our ask to $10. Will you pitch in your first $10 or even more to help our Vice President defeat Trump?

We've reminded this team for months that we have an uphill battle. Now, some folks online are seeing the evidence trickle in and are starting to worry.

But that won't do us any good.

Instead, you can make calls. You can knock on doors. You can post online. Or you can take the easiest action of all: donating to support our team at Harris-Walz HQ.

Let's be clear: Vice President Harris is pouring everything into this fight.

And we owe it to her, to Governor Walz, to ourselves, and to our country, to make sure each of us gives as much as we can right now. It's the only way to avoid waking up in two weeks with Donald Trump as our president-elect.

John, don't give in to fear. Don't give up your power. Pitch in $10 or more to support Kamala before our final end-of-month deadline of the election. You'll fund our organizing and advertising programs across the country.

Thanks so much,

Harris-Walz HQ
