What are top Democrats waiting for, friend?

Senate control hinges on Catherine's race in Nevada, but as of 6 p.m., Catherine is still $6,231 short of her goal before tonight’s official deadline.

I've been tracking Catherine's race for months, and what I'm seeing has me really worried and ready to sound the alarm.

Ever since she was named one of the most vulnerable senators in the entire country, GOP outside groups have been POURING money into attack ads to defeat her. So far, they've spent more than $4 million – and their attacks are tipping the scales in the race that will decide Senate control. 

Polls show Catherine LOSING by 3 points to her opponent – a far-right extremist handpicked by Mitch McConnell and endorsed by Donald Trump. And the Cook Political Report downgraded the race to TOSS-UP. 

I've been around enough Senate races to know we need all hands on deck to help Catherine turn this around NOW. So I'm personally asking: Will you donate $5 or more before midnight to help Catherine defend Nevada's must-win seat and our Democratic Senate? I can't overemphasize the importance of tonight's midnight deadline.

Our odds of defending the Senate are 50-50 if Democrats don't go all in to win in Nevada. This is going to be one of the tightest and most closely watched races in the entire country this year – and every dollar makes a difference. So thanks for giving what you can.
