Folks,

There is just one week left in this battle for the soul of the nation. Can you believe it?

I’m going to get personal with you in this email, and lay out the stakes of what we’re fighting for in this final stretch.

But first, there are still Get Out the Vote budgets we have to fund, and we have to raise another $2,160,000 from Pennsylvania before Saturday night’s final end-of-month fundraising goal -- falling short isn’t an option.

Can you chip in $25 now? If we hit this goal, we’ll be on track to raising $100 million online and will be able to say we did everything in our power to win »

We all know how important it is that we do win. Let’s get into what’s at stake:

When I was a Senator, I used to take a 250-mile round trip commute by train every day back and forth between Wilmington and Washington, so I could tuck my boys in at night and see them get up in the morning.

As I rode on Amtrak each night on my way home, I’d look out the window and see the flickering lights on the homes lining the streets of small towns and cities, and I’d think about what those families were discussing around the kitchen table.

How are we going to pay the heating bills?

What will we do if our employer eliminates our health care?

Are we going to be able to afford college tuition?

We both know that Donald Trump has never considered the tough questions that working American families have to ask themselves each night.

He simply doesn’t care. Even during a global pandemic, when the questions have only gotten more difficult.

As your president, I give you my word as a Biden that addressing the real issues facing you and your family will be my top priority.

I’ll never forget where I came from, or the hard decision my father had to make to move our family from Pennsylvania to Delaware to find work. I know that many families across the country have had to face the same struggles.

But, Donald Trump doesn’t understand this at all. He’s not here to make life less difficult for others. He’s here to make life better for himself.

That’s what’s at stake in this election. It’s Scranton vs. Park Avenue, and I’m going to give this final week everything I’ve got to make sure that, come January 20, 2021, the White House works for people on Main Street again, not just Wall Street.

So if you can spare it, please help power these final seven days of our fight in the battle for the soul of the nation. This is a grassroots-powered campaign, and we need to raise another $2,160,000 from Pennsylvania before Saturday night to hit this goal. Please, chip in $25 here »

Thank you,

Joseph R. Biden Jr.
