Harris gives nearly $25 million to downballot candidates
The Harris campaign announced Tuesday it is sharing nearly $25 million of its fundraising haul with downballot Democratic candidates ahead of the 2024 elections.
This news comes after the campaign announced it had raised $540 million in the first month after Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democratic presidential candidate.
“If we want a future where every American’s rights are protected, not taken away. Where the middle class is strengthened, not hollowed out; and a country where our democracy is preserved, not ripped apart, every race this November matters,” Jen O’Malley Dillon, Harris campaign manager, said in a statement, according to the Hill. “The Vice President believes that this race is about mobilizing the entire country, in races at every level, to fight for our freedoms and our economic opportunity.”
The campaign is donating $10 million to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, $10 million to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, $2.5 million to the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, a million dollars to the Democratic Attorneys General Association, and a million dollars to the Democratic Governors Association.
That’s $10 million each to support House and Senate candidates, $2.5 million for state legislative candidates, and a million dollars each for attorney general and gubernatorial candidates.
“The vice president believes that this race is about mobilizing the entire country, in races at every level, to fight for our freedoms and our economic opportunity,” O’Malley Dillon said. “That’s why the vice president has made the decision to invest a historic sum into electing Democrats up and down the ballot.”
