John – if you read one message today, please make it this one.

Marc Elias is sounding the alarm about Trump’s latest comments – take a look:

BREAKING: President Donald Trump signaled Tuesday he's willing to declare a national security emergency in an attempt to take over American elections.

Trump will do anything to hold onto power – even declaring a national security emergency in an attempt to control our elections.

It has NEVER been more important that we elect Democratic governors across the country who will protect voting rights and safeguard elections in their states – including critical swing states – and there are 36 of those races on the ballot this fall. Please, read Marc’s urgent message and then chip in to the DGA today to help them elect Dem govs:

John, I have an urgent update for you: Donald Trump just signaled that he’s willing to declare a national security emergency in an attempt to take over our elections. He’s getting more and more desperate by the day.

But here’s what I say, John: Donald Trump is beatable. I would know – I’ve taken him on in court, and I’m proud to say I’ve won 64 times.

And I’m not the only one on the frontline of this fight. Dem govs are holding the line in their states – standing up to Trump by taking him to court while simultaneously delivering for the people they serve.

That’s why it’s never been more important that we invest in electing more Democratic governors.

So if protecting our fundamental right to vote is worth $5, $20, or even $100 to you, that’s the donation I’m asking you to make to the DGA today. Your donation will even be matched up to their $25,000 goal until midnight.

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Donate $3
Donate $6
Donate $12
Or donate other amount

Trump wants us to be too overwhelmed and demoralized to fight back. We’ll prove him wrong – but only with your help.

Thank you in advance for stepping up today.

– Marc Elias
