ActBlue reports raising $10M on Friday, their highest daily donation take ever

Kavanaugh Leads To Record Fundraising For Democrats


The Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court hearings, along with the testimony from his sexual assault accuser Dr. Christine Ford, have generated a windfall of cash for Democratic candidates.

ActBlue, an online clearinghouse for Democratic donors, reported that they raised $10 million from small donors on Friday, their highest daily total ever since the site was founded.

“Small-dollar donors made their voices heard today more than ever. They’ve raised over $10 million today alone — more than any other day in ActBlue history — to fight back and help get Republicans out of office.”

The outrages of Donald Trump, and the outrages of Brett Kavanaugh, have lit a spark under the American electorate. Tens of millions of dormant voters have gotten fired up and energized to a degree never seen before. People don’t give money unless their hearts are really in it, and unless they are highly motivated to make a difference. - PoliticusUSA

It is up to us to keep these dormant voters engaged.
