Friend, by now I'm sure you've heard that Graham Platner has suspended his Senate campaign in Maine.

I am glad he did the right thing and stepped aside. Regardless of party affiliation, there can be no place in our party for someone with serious and credible allegations of sexual assault.

But I am also extremely concerned about what's next – because we still have a Senate race to win!

Maine is a must-win state if we’re going to take back the Senate and hold Trump accountable. So, I am personally asking you to split a gift between the Maine Democrats' Day One Fund and myself today to ensure the new nominee has the resources they need to flip this seat blue.

Your gift could be the difference between winning in Maine and flipping the Senate ... or losing and handing Donald Trump two more years of a Senate majority. That’s why I need you in this with me.

With Trump's dismal approval rating setting the stage for the midterms, we have a golden opportunity to flip this seat, take back the Senate and finally gain meaningful leverage over Trump. I'm asking you to help make sure we don't waste it.

Maine Democrats are already in the process of selecting a new nominee. You can help by ensuring that person is not starting from zero. We can give them the resources they need to defeat beat the GOP and end the MAGA majority.

Please, will you split a gift of $5 or more – whatever you can spare – right now to give Maine's Democratic nominee a running start in this winnable race so we can flip the Senate blue and deliver real progress for our families?

¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues!
