Democratic National Committee, September 7, 2024

Democrats,

We’ve got good news and bad news.

Here’s the good news: At the end of last month, we saw a surge of individual donations leading up to our FEC deadline. That’s money we’ve already started putting to work to defeat Donald Trump and elect Democrats across the country.

Here’s the bad news: In recent days, we have seen a significant slowdown in donations. That’s not great. Especially with the debate coming up, our final end-of-quarter deadline of this election cycle at the end of this month, and the first ballots of this election going out to voters as you read this message.

Look at this chart:

The blue line is money raised. You can see the drop.

So we have two choices to catch up. Either we need A LOT more individual donations, or we need people to give a few more bucks when they donate.

Normally we ask people making their first donation of the cycle to give $3 or $7. But today, we are asking you to give a bit more at this critical time — $15 if you can. It would really mean a lot.

Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and Democrats running for office everywhere are hoping you can donate $15 directly to the Democratic Party today. Help us reach our fundraising goals before Tuesday’s debate:

Thank you in advance for chipping in. This is an important moment in the campaign, and reaching our goals will go a long way toward helping Democrats win.

The Democratic Party
