I had to review some tough updates today about our make-or-break Senate race – and because I know you care as much as I do about protecting our Senate majority, I'm going to be brutally honest with you:

Just as Nevadans began casting ballots TODAY, McConnell's super PAC started blanketing the Nevada airwaves with vicious attack ads against me. Now, in FiveThirtyEight's newest report, Nate Silver himself said our seat is the most likely to flip red – giving Republicans the one seat they need to retake Senate control.

So today, I made a decision to launch an ambitious fundraising goal: raise $250,000 to fight back and win. But according to what I just read, we're forecasted to fall 62% short of that goal.

Thankfully, my friend James Carville just threw us a lifeline: He rallied a group of Democratic donors to TRIPLE-MATCH all gifts, but only until 11:59 p.m. TONIGHT. So please, will you take advantage of this limited-time opportunity to have your dollar go three times as far? Rush $5 (becomes $15!) so I can gain the resources necessary to pull ahead and defend Nevada and our Senate majority.

With only a few weeks to go in the race that WILL decide Senate control, multiple recent polls show my Trump-endorsed opponent ahead by a single point. As somebody who has fought and won close races before, I KNOW we can protect this seat and our majority. But Mitch McConnell and his allies are already spending more than $55 million to defeat me, which means the only way we can fight back and win is with a surge in grassroots resources.

That's why we set this ambitious fundraising goal – and I know we can reach it, but only if you step up before my midnight deadline TONIGHT. I truly have nowhere else to turn. Please, will you donate $5 to have it TRIPLE-MATCHED so I can defeat my extremist opponent, protect Nevada's critical seat and defend our razor-thin Democratic Senate majority?

You're my only hope. Thank you so much for being a part of my grassroots team and giving what you can at critical moments like this.

¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues!
