It's official, John –

Mitch McConnell’s handpicked candidate, a top ally of Donald Trump, just jumped into the race to defeat me and flip Nevada's Senate seat – a must-win race if we're going to defend Democrats' razor-thin Senate majority.

I need you now more than ever before, John. Will you donate $5 now to help me defeat Mitch McConnell’s candidate and defend the Senate majority?

The GOP and outside groups already spent over $1 million to defeat me after CNN called me one of the most vulnerable Democrats in the Senate – and now they have a McConnell and Trump yes-man to throw their weight behind.

I have to remind you of this, John: Just 2 percentage points decided my race in 2016. Just 2 percentage points decided President Biden's win here in 2020. Elections in Nevada are tight – and Mitch McConnell only needs one seat to flip the Senate.

I know – that's a lot of bad news to take in. But I know I've got the best grassroots team there is. And if everyone reading this, including you, John, chips in just $5, we can have the resources to keep Nevada blue and defend our Senate majority.

Please, will you rush $5 right now to defend Nevada's Senate seat and our Senate majority? With a narrow 50-50 split in the Senate, winning in Nevada is critical.

With Democrats holding the slimmest possible majority, we simply cannot afford to fall behind in Nevada and hand Mitch McConnell this seat. If we lose our majority, here’s what will happen: Obstruction. McConnell has said that he's "100%" focused on defeating President Biden's agenda.

We can't let that happen: That's why we must reach our $50,000 rapid-response fundraising goal by midnight tonight to ensure we have the resources to defend Nevada's Senate seat – and our Democratic majority. This grassroots team has always had my back, and I'm counting on you again now.

Rush $5 before midnight to keep Nevada blue and defend the Senate.

¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues!
