A wake up call

Trump and the RNC are already firing on all cylinders to win four more years in the Oval Office for this administration, and our party has to match their energy now if we hope to stand a chance.

Hey -- I wanted to make sure you didn't miss this news: Donald Trump's 2019 fundraising numbers are staggeringly high -- so high that he's got more cash for his re-election than any other sitting president in history has had at this point in the race -- 21 times more than President Obama. The headline is right -- this has to be a wake up call for all Democrats. Trump and the RNC are already firing on all cylinders to win four more years in the Oval Office for this administration, and our party has to match their energy and engagement now if we hope to stand a chance. You're an integral member of the Democratic Party, so I hope you'll take a moment to hear more about what Trump's numbers mean for our fight to defeat him in 2020. First, will you rush a $3 donation to the DNC to help our party fight back against Trump and Republicans? We urgently need to catch up if we hope to win the White House and seats nationwide next year. This is where Trump's campaign currently stands compared to Democrats, and what the DNC is already doing to level the playing field for the general election: TRUMP'S HEAD START Trump filed for re-election on the very day he was sworn into office, so he's had the past two years to build his operation and lay the groundwork for his re-election. The truth is, Trump never really stopped campaigning. He's been fundraising off some of his most outrageous and damaging policies -- while working families have suffered the consequences. He fundraised off his wasteful emergency declaration over his border wall, the GOP's sham tax bill that lines the pockets of billionaires, and even just recently aimed to raise a whopping $1 million dollars in response to the release of the damning Mueller report. Trump's massive fundraising haul means that he'll have a dramatic head start on any of our potential 2020 nominees. But we can close the gap if we come together to invest in our party now, while it's still early. AFTER THE PRIMARY We have a lot of incredible Democrats running for president this year. That's a good thing for our party -- it presents our voters with a strong field of candidates to choose from and offers a wealth of ideas on how to build a country we can all be proud of. It also means that our candidates will spend the next year focused on securing our party's nomination before they can pivot to take on Trump directly. This primary process will be expensive -- one of Trump's senior campaign staffers even said they expected our party to be "bruised, battered, and broke," after the primary. But we cannot and will not let that happen. By investing in our party now, even before we've selected a nominee to carry our party's banner in the general election, we'll be able to give our eventual nominee and Democrats nationwide a huge boost the moment they enter the general election, putting them in the best possible position to take on Trump and win. WHAT THE DNC IS DOING Our eventual nominee will inherit the DNC's infrastructure the instant the general election begins, which is why we've been working day and night to build out the organizing, data, tech, and voter protection programs our candidates will rely on to win in 2020. Through essential programs like Organizing Corps 2020, the War Room, our Data Warehouse, and full-time voter protection hotline, we'll be at the ready to lift our presidential nominee and Democrats in all 50 states to victory. Narrowing Trump's lead can't happen without you. Winning in the months ahead will take all of us chipping in what we can, when we can, and we can't wait any longer to match the energy and resources that Trump is amassing at a rapid rate. Your investment in the DNC now, while it's still early in the race, will have an even greater impact than that same amount will in the final days before Election Day 2020. An early investment in our party will make a tremendous difference in our ability to take on Trump and the GOP, so I am asking you to make your first contribution of 2019 today. Donate $3 to cut Trump's lead and help Democrats win the White House and seats across the map in the months ahead. Any amount you can contribute will make a huge impact. I'm so grateful to have you on this team. Tom Tom Perez Chair Democratic National Committee DONATE: $3 DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 Or donate another amount.
