This time in 2016, Hillary Clinton was leading Donald Trump in a Fox News voter enthusiasm poll by almost 10 points. Fast forward to 2020 -- and Joe Biden is trailing Trump by 16.
If Trump’s diehard base of loyalists gives him another four years in the Oval Office, he’ll have free rein to enact the worst of his reelection campaign promises. He will almost certainly be able to get Amy Coney Barrett and likely even more anti-choice, anti-health care justices on the Supreme Court in a second term -- cementing a conservative Supreme Court for decades.
And if Mitch McConnell keeps the Senate, he’ll keep blocking any effort by Democrats in the House to help everyday Americans -- and he is likely to add another 400 bills to his “legislative graveyard,” as he’s so proudly done in the past few years.
In 2018, we proved that we can win. Our victory took back the House -- and we know that now is the time to build on our momentum and take back the White House, too. We’re working hard to protect our elections from Republican attacks by getting as many Democrats as possible to turn out to vote safely in 2020. We know we’ll need a massive blue wave to stop the rising red tide.
But Trump and the RNC have raised over $1 billion to defeat Democrats and suppress voters ahead of November. They have allies in Big Oil, Big Pharma, and the Big Banks. Incumbents usually win reelection, precisely because of how much power they wield and how many allies they have on their side.
It’s all the more reason that we cannot miss ANY of our fundraising goals.
But right now, we’re falling behind.
Our work is 100% funded by thousands of grassroots supporters across the country: Democrats like you who care about the future of our country. Democrats are stepping up and giving $10, $25, or $50 because they believe that the work we’ll do over the next year will have a profound impact on the future of our country for decades to come.
The November election is coming, and your help can’t wait. If it does, Republicans win.
Thank you so much for refusing to let that happen.
