Friend: In a moment, I'm going to ask you to make a donation toward our crucial midnight fundraising goal so we can keep Georgia and the Senate blue. But first, let me explain why your donation right now is so important – and what could happen to our bold agenda without it.

I’m humbled to represent Georgia in the Senate as its first-ever Black senator. Growing up in public housing, my family was short on money but long on love and faith. Through hard work and the support of my community, I became the first in my family to graduate from college – and then, the senior pastor at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s church. Now, I'm fighting in the Senate to make sure every child can achieve their American dream.

But with recent polls showing me neck and neck with Trump's handpicked candidate, Herschel Walker, I need your urgent grassroots support to win: Will you give $5 or more now – before tonight's critical fundraising deadline – to defend my seat in Georgia and keep the Senate blue?

I'll be blunt: NBC News says Georgia is the most important swing state in this year's election – meaning our race could decide Senate control. That's why Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and the entire GOP establishment are coming after me as their TOP target for defeat.

Trump held megadonor fundraisers for my opponent, and McConnell is mobilizing his super PACs to spend MILLIONS to crush me and turn Georgia red.

I don’t take a dime from corporate PACs, so the only way I can fight back and win this race is with the support of every member of this grassroots team. I'm personally asking: Will you give $5 or more right now so we can stay on track to hit our weekly fundraising goal, keep Georgia blue, and defend our Senate majority?

Thank you. I deeply appreciate your support.

– Sen. Raphael Warnock
