BIDEN FOR PRESIDENT NEWSLETTER

Folks,

What an incredible August it has been for this campaign.

I announced Kamala Harris as my running mate, we held a one-of-a-kind Democratic National Convention all across America, and on Thursday I accepted your nomination for President of the United States.

The last few weeks have been inspiring and humbling. Getting to hear from people across the country -- friends, family, and so many other folks -- about why they're supporting me and this campaign for the presidency is something I'll never forget.

I'll be frank with you: these next 72 days won't be easy. But when I need strength, I'll think back to this week. And I hope you will too.

I'm excited to share in this newsletter all of what the campaign has been doing in August, but for now, I'll leave you with a line I quoted in my convention speech on Thursday from Ella Baker, a giant of the civil rights movement:

"Give people light and they will find a way."

I give you my word: If you entrust me with the presidency, I will draw on the best of us, not the worst. I will be an ally of the light, not of the darkness.

Now is the time for us to come together, to choose hope over fear, to give people the light.

Campaign Updates

I couldn't possibly sum up everything that was said over the four days of the Democratic National Convention and everything else this campaign has been up to without making this email too long, so I'm excited to share just a few highlights with you.

But first -- if these moments moved you as much as they moved me, can you make your first donation to keep up this campaign's momentum after an electric week?

When I first met Brayden on the campaign trail, I saw a familiar anxiety on his face. It was the anxiety of a kid with a stutter, something I struggled to overcome when I was a kid, too. I told him then that we can't let the barriers in our life define us, and he took that message to heart. I'm proud to be a part of his story, and of the courage this remarkable young man had to share his story with the world on the last night of the convention. Click below to watch his speech: .

Having my friend Jacquelyn nominate me for President of the United States meant the world to me. I'm so glad we got to share that elevator ride together, and that you were brave enough to say you supported me when so many were ready to count this campaign out. Jacquelyn, I hope you know -- we love you back.

And this campaign has been doing even more than just holding a historic convention.

Earlier this month, I announced my Agenda for the Latino Community. As president, I'll invest in Latinos' economic mobility, make far-reaching investments in ending health disparities by race, expand access to high-quality education, and tackle racial inequity in our education system. I'll combat hate crimes and gun violence, and secure our values as a nation of immigrants. You can read my full plan by clicking below:

And we made history in another way this month -- with the largest ad buy ever made by a general election presidential candidate. My team is planning to spend $280 million to advertise in battleground states online, on TV, and anywhere else we can reach voters.

But here's the truth: we still have to keep fundraising to make sure we can afford to run these ads and fund our critical organizing work.

That's why I have to ask: can you make your first donation to power our campaign to victory in November?

What's Coming

Starting tomorrow, Donald Trump will hold the Republican National Convention. If I'm being honest, I hope you won't spend too much time watching it -- their week is sure to be dark and divisive, and there is so much organizing work to be done on our end instead.

So here's my ask: Will you do one extra thing this week to make sure Democrats up and down the ballot win in November? Whether it's talking with friends and family, making calls with my campaign, or making your plan to vote, everything you do today counts. Here's one of my favorite options:

Text Vote to 30330 or go to [link removed] to make sure you're registered to vote at your current address.

We only have 72 days left in this election, and every single one of those days matters.

My campaign is hosting virtual events, running our advertising programs, and implementing massive organizing plans across the country. And I'm so glad you're a part of it.

But running such an ambitious, historic campaign means we also have to set ambitious, historic fundraising goals. And since this is a grassroots campaign, we rely on supporters like you to reach them. That's why I'm asking, one more time:

Will you chip in right now to power my campaign? Any amount you're able to give will make a real difference.

I could keep reminiscing about these past few weeks for a lot longer, but that won't help us win votes in November, so it's time for me to wrap up.

But I hope you feel as energized and hopeful as I do right now -- for this campaign, and for our country's future.

This is our moment to decide who we are as Americans. And I know that with you by my side, we can win this battle for the soul of the nation.

So for now -- keep the faith, and keep up the fight. We can do this.

- Joe
