Dear MoveOn member,
There is a real and terrifying possibility that Donald Trump can win this race.
If we don't do everything in our power to win, in just five days, we could all hear these terrifying words: "CNN can now project that Donald Trump will win re-election. Joe Biden has called Donald Trump to concede the race."
But it doesn't have to be this way. We can stop Trump. We can win. But only if we leave everything on the field in these final, critical days. So we have an urgent question:
This election is down to the wire, and Trump can still win this race if we get complacent. Here's why.
In the battleground states, Republicans are AHEAD of Democrats in registering new voters. Since 2016, the GOP has registered 180,000 more voters than Democrats, and the GOP is performing especially well in two critical swing states: Pennsylvania and Florida.1
And the polls in battleground states are tighter—much tighter—than the national polls. The media is obsessed with national polls that show Biden up by double digits, just like they were in 2016 with polls showing Hillary Clinton way ahead. But in some battleground states, this race is in a dead heat.
Florida? Biden's narrow lead is within the margin of error.2
North Carolina? Biden and Trump are in a statistical tie.3
Georgia? Trump's leading.4
On top of all of this, in a stunning development, Trump has improved his standing among Black and Latino voters, a critical voting bloc that can swing this election.5
And remember, these polls don't take into account all of the disinformation, voter suppression, and dirty tricks that Trump and the GOP will try to pull.
So if you think this election is in the bag ... think again.
This is the fight of our lifetimes. And we can't afford to remain complacent.
That's why MoveOn has
- mobilized more than 825,000 volunteers to get out the vote;
- sent tens of millions of text messages to voters in swing states to remind them to head to the polls;
- blanketed battleground states with TV, radio, and digital ads to defeat Trump and the GOP;
- recruited thousands of poll workers to ensure voters can safely cast their ballots;
- and much, much more.
We need to finish this race strong. Right now, just five days left, is not the time to let our foot off the gas. We urgently need your help.
Thanks for all you do.
