Hi friend – today's the day. Election Day. I just had to review some tough updates about our make-or-break Senate race, and with our Senate majority hinging on the outcome, I need to be brutally honest with you:

The experts at FiveThirtyEight increased my chances of losing after McConnell's super PAC started blanketing the Nevada airwaves with vicious attack ads against me. Worse still, The New York Times' final poll of the election shows me locked in a TIE with my Trump-endorsed opponent – 47 to 47.

In order to fight back against these attacks and mobilize voters, I need to raise another $250,000 before the polls close in Nevada tonight – every dollar of it grassroots. But according to what I just read, we aren't even 50% of the way there.

Thankfully, my friend James Carville just threw us a lifeline: He rallied a group of Democratic donors to TRIPLE-MATCH all gifts for the very last time. So please, will you make THREE TIMES the impact on the most important Senate race in the country? Rush $5 (becomes $15!) so I can secure the resources necessary to pull ahead and defend Nevada and our Senate majority.

With just hours to go in the race that WILL decide Senate control, polling has shown this race in a dead heat for weeks. 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 final, and most important fundraising goal, of the campaign – and I know we can reach it, but only if you step up before polls close in Nevada 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!
