Hey, bumping this message. Since we let you all know about our 500,000 online donation milestone for the quarter, you all have stepped up in a big way.

We now have just 62,000 donations to go by next Tuesday.

Like Katie said, a lot of people we were counting on aren't picking up the phone, and we're expecting a HUGE dip in the next couple of days (it's the holidays, we get it!).

But these goals are real and important, so we're sending this email to you, hoping you can come through. Please read our finance update below and chip in $5 to help us hit our milestone for our most critical, and most difficult, deadline yet:

Team Joe

---ORIGINAL MESSAGE---
My name is Katie and I'm Joe Biden's National Finance Director.

And I'll be blunt. I'm worried.

That's why I'm emailing you to ask for $5 before our end-of-year fundraising deadline.

Joe did an amazing job at the debate on Thursday, but the truth is with the crazy news cycle and holiday season, it's just tough to get through to folks this time of year.

The last three donors I called didn't pick up the phone.

And with December being our most important deadline of the year, that worries me. A lot.

But, frankly, as Joe's National Finance Director, it's my job to worry about these things.

We need the final number we post from 2019 to show we have the strength to be the nominee, and we need it to fund the budget we made to win in every state.

So we really need to hit our goal of 500,000 contributions for the quarter before the books close in 2019. It's ambitious, but it's non-negotiable.

I'm begging -- don't let us fall short. Pitch in $5 to help us make sure we hit this donation goal for the entire quarter »

We've come together as a team before to hit steep goals and shock the political class.

We can do it again. But not without you.

So before I sign-off, I'm going to ask you one more time.

If you care about nominating Joe Biden, the BEST Democrat to defeat Donald Trump, can I count on a $5 contribution from you right now?

Thanks for being on this team -- let's win!

National Finance Director, Biden for President----
