Senate Democrats’ campaign arm had its two best online fundraising days of the cycle after President Joe Biden’s announcement that he would not seek reelection.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee raised roughly $1 million on both Sunday and Monday, an aide said. That’s far greater than normal; DSCC raised about $12.1 million in all of June.
Democrats have touted a grassroots fundraising surge over the last two days, seeing it as a sign that Vice President Kamala Harris is injecting the ticket with fresh energy and enthusiasm. A rise in donations to down-ballot campaigns and groups has come as particularly welcome relief after weeks of panic that Biden would drag down Democrats’ fight for control of Congress.
House Democrats’ campaign arm, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said it also had its best online fundraising day of the cycle, raising nearly $1 million in the 24 hours after Biden’s announcement.
