The DNC has raked in more than $66 million, the biggest midterm year haul for this point in the cycle, a committee spokesperson ahead of the monthly filing deadline. <\/p>\n
The DNC continues to tout its grassroots fundraising totals, a continued bright spot for the party that’s facing a brutal midterm environment. The DNC had its best online fundraising month, exceeding the next closest mark by nearly $2 million. The best performing fundraising emails were signed by President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Second Lady Jill Biden and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.<\/p>\n
The DNC said it’s investing this cash into the midterms, including a $70 million spending plan, exceeding the DNC’s $30 million program spent during the 2018 midterm cycle. The party is currently dropping a seven-figure buy on print and radio ads targeting Black, Latino and AAPI communities across the country, promoting Biden’s agenda.<\/p>\n
