“I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down because I don't want to create a panic." -- Donald Trump, on the coronavirus

John, we just learned this is what Donald Trump admitted -- on tape -- about lying to the American people from the very beginning of this pandemic. He knew how deadly this virus would be. He knew how it spread. And he deliberately misled us all, now costing over 190,000 American lives.

This is a betrayal of the American people, period. And it only adds to the urgency of electing Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats in every corner of our country to help end this pandemic and build our country back better.

Ballots are already being cast in this election, so everything we can do right now to keep running ads and getting out the vote matters to ensure as many paths to 270 as possible for Joe Biden. What this team can raise today will directly impact the outcome of the race in our most vital battlegrounds, so I'm coming to you:

Will you rush an immediate $7 donation to the DNC to defeat Donald Trump and Republicans by electing the Biden-Harris ticket and Democrats nationwide? If every person reading this chips in even a modest amount, we'll be able to expand our investments in our most crucial battleground states when it matters most.

This damning breaking news reveals that Trump knew how deadly this virus was from the very start -- yet he deliberately downplayed its effects for his own political gain. His ego has cost hundreds of thousands of people their lives and tens of millions their livelihoods, and we can't afford to take our foot off the gas in this fight to defeat him and his allies in a few short weeks.

This recorded admission only further proves that the American people cannot afford four more years of Trump's lies, and Democrats can't risk leaving a single vote on the table due to our efforts being underfunded. Please, John, I can't overstate the impact your donation will have in the wake of this breaking news:

Make an emergency $7 donation to the DNC to elect Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats everywhere who will right the wrongs of this morally bankrupt administration. I am personally asking every single person on this grassroots team to step up.

In unity,

Tom

Chair
Democratic National Committee

P.S. This moment has the potential to be a turning point in the race, John, and according to your donor file, you haven't donated to the DNC this year. I am urging you to step off the sidelines in this pivotal time for our party and our country. Please donate $7 right now to defeat Donald Trump and every single Republican who's enabled his betrayal of the American people.
