Democrats in Tight Races Flooded with Cash

New fundraising reports reveal the significant boost that Democrats in competitive congressional races received from a surge of donations following Kamala Harris’s rise to the top of the party’s ticket.

It’s not even close.

Among the 26 House races currently labeled as “Toss Up” by the Cook Political Report, just one Republican managed to outraise their Democratic opponent—Rep. Michelle Steel (R-CA)—and that was due to a $1 million personal loan she made to her campaign.

Democrats also outraised Republicans in all 11 competitive Senate races.

This financial windfall for Democrats leaves Republicans scrambling to stretch their resources in the final weeks of the election.
