Folks,

Over two weeks ago, Americans across the country cast their ballots and sent a clear message -- Joe Biden is the president-elect.

Yet, Trump still refuses to concede this election, and his Administration is delaying formal transition procedures by refusing to recognize the results of the election.

Let us explain what that means: The Administrator of the General Services Administration is refusing to sign a document called the ascertainment letter, which recognizes the apparent winner of the election, allows the incoming president-elect's team to begin the process of transition of power, and green-lights the coordination of the government with the incoming team.

This is all because Donald Trump's team would rather stick with partisan politics than do what's right. But there are major consequences to this, including threats to our national security and potentially slowing down our response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We want to be clear: the Biden-Harris transition team will continue to steadily move forward. But, without ascertainment, we need to fund the transition ourselves, and that's why we're reaching out to you today.

It's a shame that we even have to ask, but Donald Trump and his Administration's actions leave us no choice. Will you chip in $25 to ensure that our country is prepared for the transition of power?

We fully understand that you are probably worn down from a long election year, made even more exhausting by a president whose inability to lead has driven our country into multiple crises.

But, that's exactly why it is critical that we run as robust a transition operation as possible, and allow the Biden-Harris Administration to be fully prepared to lead on Day One.

Grassroots supporters like you made a Joe Biden presidency possible, and now we are counting on you once again to power us through this critical moment.

So, if you're able to go the extra mile today, your generosity will go a long way to bring our nation out of the mess that Donald Trump is leaving behind. Pitch in $25 or whatever you're able to give here:

We hope you understand why we had to reach out with this request today. Our team is deeply grateful for your support and generosity.

Thank you,

The Biden Transition
