It's a fundraising email as we near the election to point out that there has been movement in the Democrat's favor and apparently what their campaign has been doing has been working so they are asking for more support.

What exactly is the issue here...?

...a win there -- in a traditionally bright red district -- would be a huge repudiation of Trump and his MAGA fascists.
