Kamala Harris rakes in endorsements—and dough
Those who thought that President Joe Biden standing down from the 2024 campaign would lead to some kind of free-for-all are about to be disappointed. In the hours since Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, that announcement has been met with a level of Democratic enthusiasm that exceeds all expectations. Back in May, Donald Trump’s campaign bragged that they had experienced Trump’s biggest fundraising day, hitting $52.8 million following his conviction on 34 felony counts. But Trump’s big day is about to be blown away. Biden endorsed Harris shortly after 2 PM ET on Sunday. By 9 PM, ActBlue was announcing the biggest day of the election cycle, with $46.7 million. Later, Harris’ campaign reported that it had taken in $49.6 million, still on Sunday. But the night wasn’t over. By midnight, ActBlue had collected $66.8 million, with almost all of that coming after Biden’s endorsement of Harris. Since midnight, another $14.4 million has come in. There’s a good chance that ActBlue will hit over $100 million in small donations within 24 hours of the endorsement. And Harris did it all without committing a crime. Just as impressive as the funds streaming in to support the campaign is the list of officials, party leaders, and organizations that have lined up to express their support for Harris. As of Sunday night, Daily Kos had identified these senators, representatives, governors, and organizations as standing behind Harris: Governors (10) Andy Beshear, Gavin Newsom, Janet Mills, Jared Polis, John Carney, Josh Shapiro, Kathy Hochul, Ned Lamont, Phil Murphy, and Roy Cooper. Senators (20) Alex Padilla, Ben Cardin, Bob Casey, Brian Schatz, Chris Coons, Chris Murphy, Debbie Stabenow, Ed Markey, Elizabeth Warren, Jon Ossoff, Laphonza Butler, Mark Kelly, Mark Warner, Martin Heinrich, Michael Bennet, Patty Murray, Ron Wyden, Tammy Baldwin, Tim Kaine, and Tina Smith. Representatives (130) Abigail Spanberger, Adam Schiff, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ami Bera, Amy Klobuchar, Andrea Salinas, Andy Kim, Annie Kuster, Ayanna Pressley, Barbara Lee, Becca Balint, Ben Ray Lujan, Bennie Thompson, Betty McCollum, Bill Foster, Bill Keating, Bobby Scott, Brad Schneider, Brad Sherman, Brendan Boyle, Catherine Cortez Masto, Cori Bush, Dan Goldman, Dan Kildee, Danny Davis, David Trone, Debbie Dingell, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Deborah Ross, Delia Ramirez, Dina Titus, Don Beyer, Dutch Ruppersberger, Emilia Sykes, Eric Swalwell, Frank Pallone, Frederica Wilson, Gabe Amo, Gabe Vasquez, Gerry Connolly, Grace Meng, Greg Casar, Greg Landsman, Greg Stanton, Gregory Meeks, Gwen Moore, Hank Johnson, Haley Stevens, Hillary Scholten, Nikema Williams, Ilhan Omar, Jahana Hayes, Jake Auchincloss, Jamaal Bowman, Jamie Raskin, Jared Huffman, Jared Moskowitz, Jasmine Crockett, Jason Crow, Jeff Jackson, Jennifer McClellan, Jennifer Wexton, Jerry Nadler, Jill Tokuda, Jim Clyburn, Jim McGovern, Joaquin Castro, Joe Neguse, John Garamendi, Jonathan Jackson, Joyce Beatty, Judy Chu, Julia Brownley, Kathy Castor, Katherine Clark, Katie Porter, Kevin Mullin, Kweisi Mfume, Lisa Blunt Rochester, Lizzie Fletcher, Lois Frankel, Lori Trahan, Lucy McBath, Marilyn Strickland, Mark Pocan, Mark Takano, Mary Gay Scanlon, Maxine Waters, Maxwell Frost, Melanie Stansbury, Mike Levin, Mike Quigley, Nanette Barragan, Nikki Budzinski, Nydia Velázquez, Paul Tonko, Pramila Jayapal, Raul Grijalva, Raul Ruiz, Ritchie Torres, Ro Khanna, Robert Garcia, Robin Kelly, Rosa DeLauro, Ruben Gallego, Salud Carbajal, Sara Jacobs, Sean Casten, Seth Magaziner, Seth Moulton, Shontel Brown, Shri Thanedar, Stacey Plaskett, Steny Hoyer, Steve Cohen, Steven Horsford, Summer Lee, Susan Wild, Susie Lee, Suzanne Bonamici, Sylvia Garcia, Sydney Kamlager, Ted Lieu, Teresa Leger Fernandez, Terri Sewell, Troy Carter, Val Hoyle, Veronica Escobar, Yadira Caraveo, and Yvette Clarke. Other party leaders and officials Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, John Kerry, and Pete Buttigieg. Organizations American Federation of Teachers, Congressional Black Caucus, LGBTQ+ Victory Fund, and SEIU. And of course, Daily Kos. We have a real chance to shatter our country’s centuries-old glass ceiling. Imagine our great nation finally electing a woman—and a Black and Asian American woman at that! Holy crap, that gets me excited, and hopefully, it gets you excited, too! We are going to have something real to fight for: the major accomplishments of the Biden-Harris administration and a groundbreaking candidate as well. Please donate $10 or whatever you can to ensure Kamala Harris holds the White House!
