President Barack Obama is trying to convince Democratic donors to open their wallets by telling them liberals like Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren would be the driving force if control of the Senate changes hands.
Sending Hillary Clinton to the White House wont matter much unless Democrats control some legislative levers, according to Obama's pitch. For that to happen, the party needs to fill its campaign war chest.
Some of the most important achievements weve won together since Ive been president wouldnt have been possible without a Democratic majority in the Senate, Obama writes in a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee mailer.
The bottom line: If we want to see real change continue after I leave office, then we must win back the majority in the Senate this November, the president writes.
