Surge of Enthusiasm Among Democrats
A significant surge in enthusiasm among Democrats surrounding Kamala Harris's candidacy is causing alarm within GOP circles. After Biden exited the race, grassroots fundraising for Democrats experienced a remarkable increase, leading to a $37 million fundraising gap between Democratic House incumbents and their GOP challengers. This financial disparity has prompted GOP operatives to express genuine concerns about the viability of their candidates in the upcoming elections. With the Harris campaign allocating $25 million to support down-ballot Democratic initiatives, there is a clear strategy to translate enthusiasm into tangible wins across various electoral levels.
