Friend, with just hours to go before my midnight deadline, I'm still falling $4,741 short of my fundraising goal. I'd love to explain why it's so important to close this gap before midnight if you have just one minute to keep reading:

My race here in Florida is Democrats' best opportunity to expand our Senate majority and build back better, which makes this incredible news: Polling shows me within just 2 points of Marco Rubio, and CNN analysts think Democrats have a REAL shot at flipping this seat blue!

But here's the bad news: The GOP is starting to stack the cards against me. The Republican National Committee chair is attacking me personally, while Mitch McConnell and GOP outside groups are ready to dump tens of MILLIONS into Florida to defeat me. The Republican establishment is panicking about my chances of winning, which is why this is shaping up to be the most expensive Senate race ever.

That's why every single fundraising goal is critical to keeping my campaign on track to fight back against GOP attacks and win. But with time running out, I don't have enough grassroots support to reach my midnight fundraising goal tonight, so I'm counting on YOU to become a member of this team:

Please, friend, will you rush a contribution of $5 to become a member of this grassroots team? Every dollar will help me defeat Marco Rubio, flip Florida blue and expand our Democratic Senate majority.

Thank you so much for stepping up in the moments it matters most.
