As President Obama's former chief of staff, I cannot underscore enough the degree to which Donald Trump's actions are damaging our country

I am not going to sugarcoat it: It will be an uphill battle to take back the Oval Office and seats nationwide next year, and we must be ready.

As President Obama's former chief of staff, I cannot underscore enough the degree to which Donald Trump's actions are damaging our country and undermining our standing in the world. In less than a year, we'll have the chance to nominate a Democratic candidate who will not just undo that damage, but build boldly off the progress we made together under President Obama's leadership. The DNC is already implementing the strategies our eventual nominee will need to win in 2020: A program to recruit, train, and pay young organizers to work next year's election; a War Room that is shaping the narrative about how Trump is hurting American families; and a landmark Data Warehouse that will completely change how campaigns use and share data, just to name a few. Each of these programs demands our support to reach its full potential and to defeat Donald Trump and his allies in 2020. So, I have to ask: Will you make a $3 contribution before Monday's critical end-of-quarter deadline? DONATE: $3 DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 Or donate another amount. Restoring the United States' leadership in the world; igniting a clean energy revolution; cutting the uninsured rate by nearly half with the Affordable Care Act. These are all gains made under President Obama -- and we must elect Democrats who will fight to protect and build on that legacy. I am not going to sugarcoat it: It will be an uphill battle to take back the Oval Office and seats nationwide next year, and we must be ready. That's why the Democratic Party and I are counting on you in this important moment. Make a $3 contribution to the Democratic Party ahead of Monday's critical deadline. All of my best, Denis Denis McDonough Former Chief of Staff to President Obama P.S. Donald Trump's campaign just announced they raised a staggering $13 million in 24 hours, not to mention the over $200 million they've already raised this year. We need you with us. Rush a $3 donation to the Democratic Party now, before we close the books on Q3.
