(53,342 posts)Stacey Abrams, Andrew Gillum draw cash from same bank of national donors

But while Abrams and Gillum appear to have tapped into a national network of Democratic donors, their Republican opponents, Brian Kemp in Georgia and Ron DeSantis in Florida, dont appear to have experienced the same benefit, despite both having been endorsed by President Trump. The two Republicans share fewer than 20 common donors, according to McClatchys analysis.

▪ Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes, who gave $21,000 to Abrams and $6,000 to Gillums committees.
▪ Silicon Valley couple Liz Simons, daughter of Robert Mercers former hedge fund partner James Simons, and husband Mark Heising, who gave more than $365,000 to the Gillum-connected groups and $23,000 combined to Abrams campaign.

(7,142 posts)polling is going to be screwed up for this election for 2 main reasons.
1. Likely voters are being polled but unlikely voters and first time voters are going to break big for Democrats.
2. People registered as Republicans are going to vote for Democrats bigly this election.
Kornacki or Gallup can't compute those 2 big factors.
The blue tsunami is coming. Vote.
