The election is now just weeks away, and your actions in the coming days will be crucial for our success in November.
The good news is that, according to FiveThirtyEight, The New York Times’s release of Donald Trump’s tax history and business dealings has a “real potential to prevent Trump from making up ground on Joe Biden” -- and Biden has continued to lead in national polls.
But FiveThirtyEight also reports that Trump’s strong polling on the economy could sway independent voters in critical states his way, which would give Trump the advantage as the election nears -- just as it did in 2016 when independent voters in Florida, Michigan, and Wisconsin voted for Trump over Hillary Clinton on the economy, handing Trump the Electoral College by razor-thin margins.
We know from experience that Trump can rewrite the narrative on his tax crimes to win this election -- like he did in 2016 when he overcame Clinton’s sizable polling leads to win the Electoral College. Our mission is to turn out Democratic voters in overwhelming numbers this election to exile Trump from the White House, take back the Senate from Mitch McConnell’s Republican majority, and expand our own House majority.
But the Trump campaign is now investing heavily in digital ads to turn out Trump’s supporters, outspending the Biden campaign by nearly $100 million. And The Hill now reports Democrats are worried “there might be a larger number of voters receptive to Trump’s...messaging than they’re seeing in the polls.” That’s why, with just a few weeks to go before the election, we can’t afford to fall behind on our fundraising goal -- but that’s exactly what we’re doing right now.
We cannot thank you enough for standing with us now.
