Did you catch me on Saturday Night Live last night? I had a blast joining John Mulaney in a skit — and in case you forgot, my name is Tim Kaine :)
Here’s the deal. SNL is hilarious, but the stakes of this election are no laughing matter for the hundreds of millions of Americans whose lives and livelihoods will be seriously impacted by its outcomes. From reproductive freedom to affordable health care to voting rights to Social Security to our very democracy — there is so much on the line.
Look, losing the 2016 election was really hard. For all of us. But 2024 is not 2016. The challenges we face are different. The state of the world is very different. We know more about what we’re up against and what would happen under a Trump presidency. And of course, the most important difference: We still have time to affect the outcome of the 2024 election.
None of us want to feel the way we did after the 2016 election next week. I’m doing everything I can to win re-election and deliver Virginia’s 13 electoral votes to Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. And I hope I can count on your support in these final hours. Your donation can still have an impact — every dollar counts in the work to turn out voters.
