John,

At a rally this weekend, Donald Trump asked his supporters for something strange.

"Pretend, please, that I'm on the ballot."

He's not. But he's asking Republicans to run like he is anyway.

Here's why. His approval ratings are underwater. The Iran war just hit six months old with no end in sight. Voters are furious about the cost of living. Republicans know their own record can't win them the midterms, so Trump is trying to make this election about him instead, the only card he has left to play.

That's not confidence. That's a man who knows exactly how much trouble his party is in.

We have 64 days left until November 3rd. Democrats need a net gain of just 4 Senate seats and 3 House seats to take back both chambers.

Sixty-four days. That's it.

Trump is telling Republicans to pretend he's on the ballot because he knows his actual record can't win in November, and he's out of better options.

This is exactly the moment Building Blue exists for. Not just the last-minute scramble in October, but building real support behind our candidates now, while there's still time for it to make a difference in the closest races.

Today is the last day of the month, and every dollar you give before midnight goes straight toward keeping that momentum building through the fall, when Republicans are already running scared.

Every dollar you give before midnight tonight helps us keep the pressure on, in the states where four Senate seats and three House seats are still up for grabs. Please, give before midnight and help make sure he's wrong.

Trump wants you to pretend he's on the ballot. We'd rather make sure he loses either way.
