Friend,

This weekend is just a preview of what’s to come in the final 50 days of this race.

Donald Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are all coming to barnstorm across the state and help Ted Budd.

This is a clear effort to prop up his campaign, fire up the far-right base, and pretend that their brand of divisive politics is what the people of North Carolina want.

So we have to be prepared for anything. Trump and his clown car may be coming to North Carolina. They may attack me directly. And Ted Budd may have his super PACs spending $50 million to buy this seat.

But we have something far better: each other, and I know that if we are in this together, we will be ready for anything they throw our way.

Can you please split a $10 donation between my campaign and Blue Senate Candidate Fund before Donald Trump gets here tomorrow for his rally with Ted Budd? Every dollar will help us flip this seat and expand the Senate majority for Democrats.

This race couldn’t be closer, and Republicans know they cannot retake the majority without this seat. So we must be ready to fight back against a never-ending stream of far-right foolishness.

I believe that we can win by uniting people and focusing on the real issues we care about — like health care, climate change, voting rights, an economy that works for everyone, and lowering costs. With your support, that’s exactly what we will do.
