Friend, I needed to follow up on my message from yesterday. Donald Trump just held a rally in Georgia with his handpicked candidate, Herschel Walker (R), to flip my seat and retake the Senate for Mitch McConnell and the GOP.
|
We set an emergency-response goal to fight back against his lies and win this race, and thanks to grassroots supporters like you, we're just 3.2% away from hitting our goal.
But with CNN experts calling me the most vulnerable Senate Democrat up for reelection – and a new poll showing me neck and neck with Walker – falling short here is simply not an option.
So I have to ask, friend: Will you rush a contribution of $5 or more right now to put us over the top, fight back against Donald Trump's attacks and keep Georgia blue?
|
Your support means so much to me. I'm fully committed to fighting for our progressive future, but with our Democratic Senate majority razor-thin, I mean it when I say we have zero margin for error when it comes to hitting these goals and protecting this seat.
|
Thank you for standing with me in these critical fights for justice.
– Sen. Raphael Warnock

Friend, I’m running for reelection to keep Georgia blue and pass our bold Democratic agenda, but I need your help:
|
Donald Trump just stepped on the stage at a major MAGA rally right here in Georgia. He’s stirring up the GOP's base to prop up his handpicked candidate, Herschel Walker (R). They’re going to do everything they can to flip this seat and retake Senate control for Mitch McConnell.
|
The stakes couldn’t be higher, friend: Democrats have a razor-thin majority in the Senate, meaning we can't afford to lose a single seat. But CNN just named me the most vulnerable Democratic senator up for reelection, and a new poll shows this race is neck and neck.
|
I know we can beat the odds and win – because we've done it before. But national Republicans have already spent MILLIONS of dollars to smear me with attack ads, and with Herschel Walker now in the race, Trump, McConnell and the entire GOP establishment will flood Georgia with millions more to defeat me. Trump's visit and the GOP's spending spree could ruin our chance to defend our Senate majority unless we hit all of our grassroots fundraising goals.
|
That’s why this request is so urgent. With just hours to go until our emergency-response deadline tonight, we’re still falling short of our goal, and I need your help: Will you give $5 or more right now to keep Georgia blue, defend our Senate majority and defeat Trumpism for good?
|
The fact that Trump came down to Georgia – for the first time since our historic Democratic victories in January – proves one thing and one thing only: Republicans know they cannot retake the Senate if they lose this race.
|
Georgia is once again the number one battleground, and our entire Democratic agenda – from voting rights to economic justice – is at stake. That's why we can't afford to take a single day off or miss a single fundraising deadline – because the fight for our progressive future is just too important.
|
So if you care about building a better, brighter future for Georgia and our country, I'm counting on you to give as much as you can spare right now: Please friend, will you give $5 or more before midnight tonight so we can hit our emergency-response goal, win in Georgia and keep the Senate blue?
|
I’m so grateful to have you on this grassroots team. Thank you for coming through when it matters most.

Please read on for a personal message from Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock: Friend, thank you – I’m so grateful to this grassroots team for fighting with me for our shared Democratic values. But I need your help now more than ever.
Democrats have a razor-thin 50-50 majority in the Senate, and the GOP is making my seat their TOP target for defeat in next year’s election. They’ll be throwing everything they’ve got at us to take back the Senate for Mitch McConnell – and if we’re going to make any progress on health care, relief for families and so much more, I’ll need your grassroots support to help me win reelection and keep the Senate blue.
If you’re with me in this fight, please click here to donate now. Thank you!
– Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock
