That downturn could not be coming at a worse time. If you’ve got a minute, please... let us explain why this is so dangerous for us. For the last few months we’ve had really strong fundraising. We’ve outraised Kari Lake, we’ve had some strong showings in the polls, and we found ourselves in a strong position to win this election. We made plans based on that performance. We reserved millions of dollars in advertising in the home stretch of the election — millions of dollars that we predicted we’d be able to raise, and millions that we’re on the hook for. But our fundraising this month... it’s just not been great. We’re not sure why, but folks just aren’t giving like they used to. And the timing — it’s absolutely terrible. Because not only are we on the hook for millions in ads, Kari Lake just announced that she is spending $10 million dollars on television against us. TEN MILLION DOLLARS, {NAME}. It’s huge. And if we’re not careful, that kind of advertising could swamp us. This is win-lose territory. And if we lose, that means Kari Lake in a Senate held by the Republicans. With our mid-month fundraising deadline hitting tonight, we’re in a make-or-break moment. So we’re writing to you with an urgent, critical request: [Please, make your first online donation before our deadline hits at midnight.
