John — in case you missed it: Amy McGrath is now the official Democratic nominee to take on Mitch McConnell in November — and a recent poll of the race has her leading McConnell by 1%.
But, there's bad news too: we fell a bit short of reaching our FEC fundraising goal before the deadline last night. Not by a lot. But if we don't make up the difference this week, it could weaken our campaign to flip the Senate.
So, we're launching an emergency 48-hour fundraising drive to close this fundraising gap. Make a donation to Flip the Senate today and help us end Mitch McConnell's Senate majority:

John —
Moments ago we got breaking news: Amy McGrath has officially won the Kentucky Senate primary to take on Mitch McConnell in November!
It was a hard-fought primary — but now is the time for Democrats to pull together to beat McConnell and end his Senate majority.
McGrath has repeatedly outraised McConnell and a recent poll out of Kentucky showed her surging into a 1% lead. But, we know outside GOP groups and corporate special interests are going to spend outrageous amounts of money trying to tear Amy down and drown out her campaign this summer.
Today — more than ever — we need to double down on our work to win the Senate and defeat Mitch McConnell. So, we’re asking:
Rush a contribution of $10 or more before tonight’s FEC deadline if you believe Democrats can elect Amy McGrath and flip enough Senate seats to take back our government in November. Chip in here:

The high turnout in Kentucky’s primary is a huge indicator that the momentum Democrats are building across the country is real. We can flip the Senate this year and kick Mitch McConnell out of power.
Thanks for all you do.
