John, the bad news just keeps coming: Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight recently announced that I’m in severe danger of losing Nevada.

My chances of winning were just DOWNGRADED to "toss-up," while a new poll has me losing to my Trump-endorsed opponent by 2 points.

And now, as of 5:30 p.m., I'm about to fall short of my critical rapid-response fundraising goal at midnight tonight.

If we're going to turn this around and defend the Senate, I need to hit every single fundraising goal. But I can't do it without you, John, and here's what my team found when they pulled your official supporter record:

Mitch McConnell and his GOP allies know the road to Senate control runs right through Nevada – that's why they've already spent more than $2 million to defeat me. I'm being outspent – and if this downgrade is any indication, their attacks are working.

I believe we can turn this around and win in Nevada, John, but it's going to take all of us, and we need to act now. When I won by a tight 2-point margin in 2016, it was only because grassroots Democrats like you stepped up at critical moments like this. Now, with Senate control on the line and GOP attacks putting us in danger of losing in Nevada, I'm counting on you again.

I'm still $3,203 short of my midnight grassroots goal, but if everyone reading this gives just $5 right now, I know we can make up this fundraising gap, turn this race around and defend this critical seat. 

Please, John, before tonight's midnight deadline, rush $5 to help me raise the resources I need to fight back against the GOP's attacks, protect Nevada and defend our Democratic Senate majority. 

Thank you so much for being on my team, John. We have a long way to go, but together, I know we can keep Nevada and the Senate blue and continue moving our country in the right direction. 

¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues!
