Donald Trump will return to North Carolina for the 16th time today — his second visit in less than one week. But before I get into it, I have to ask:

Can I count on you to add a donation before Trump arrives? We have a real opportunity to win this Senate race in North Carolina — which means we can’t afford to take any chances. Chip in right here:

As we’re preparing for whatever Trump has planned today, we’re also approaching our last fundraising deadline of this election, which is one of our final moments to show North Carolinians, national supporters, and Washington Republicans just how strong our campaign is.

Thom Tillis is certainly feeling the pressure, too — which is why he’s relying on Donald Trump’s support more than ever. Trump has visited North Carolina 16 times (that’s more than any other battleground state with a toss-up Senate race!), each time rallying his base to help Tillis.

My opponent is desperate for Trump’s help given how close the polls are in this race. Since I’m not taking a single contribution from corporate PACs, I’m personally asking you to pitch in today to ensure we have the financial resources to stay competitive in the final days of this election.

Brandt, we need new leadership. With just 13 days until this election is over, I’ll need your help to deliver it. Donate now to help our campaign take back North Carolina, and with it, the whole Senate:

Washington Republicans are terrified of losing their majority, and they know North Carolina is the tipping point state. That’s why Trump keeps coming back — and why your donation matters so much today.

Thanks for everything. Take care.
