Amazing update, friend: I had to reach out to my top supporters as soon as I saw this: A brand-new poll shows me SURGING AHEAD of Marco Rubio!

This is the THIRD poll in a row that shows my campaign gaining momentum, and Marco Rubio is so PANICKED that he sent this PLEA to his supporters:

GIF of Marco Rubio saying, "I'm just starting to get nervous about this."

Momentum is at a fever pitch and I'm gaining ground, but this race is well within the margin of error – so I need all hands on deck right now to make sure we carry this momentum all the way until Election Day. So please: Will you rush $5 right now to my campaign to stop the GOP from turning Florida red permanently? This is our last, best chance!

My trajectory over these last few weeks has been incredible, friend: Months of polls showed me trailing – but after I outraised Marco Rubio nearly 3 to 1 last quarter, TWO polls showed us TIED. That's when Rubio first started to get nervous (he even started BEGGING for donations on Fox News!).

There's absolutely no question that I can win this race and we can flip Florida blue. The problem is this: If I want to stay ahead and maintain this progress, I simply have to raise another $250,000 before my midnight deadline tonight.

The GOP is calculating their next attacks to defeat me as you read this email, so I can't fall short – not when this race will make or break our Senate majority.

Will you donate $5 to help me keep up my momentum, defeat Marco Rubio and protect our Democratic Senate majority? In a race as close as this one, every single donation – including yours, friend – makes a real difference.

Thank you so much for helping me take the lead in this race. None of my progress would be possible without this team.
