'The floodgates will open': Democratic donors energized by Kamala Harris' run
Hours after Joe Biden stepped aside in the 2024 presidential campaign and backed Kamala Harris, large and small donors began digging back into their pockets.
The Democratic money machine is back in business.
Hours after President Joe Biden made the extraordinary decision to step aside in the presidential campaign and back Vice President Kamala Harris instead, large and small donors began digging back into their pockets.
ActBlue, the leading Democratic online donation processor, reported that donors gave $46.7 million in small-dollar donations through the platform for the day by 9 p.m. Eastern. It was already ActBlue's biggest day of 2024 with hours left to go.
Early Monday morning, Harris campaign spokesperson Brian Fallon said she raised $49.6 million in "grassroots donations" following Biden's endorsement of her.
And that isn't all. Much more is expected to flow in and is already being pledged by large-dollar donors, too.
