ActBlue rakes in nearly $50 million in 7 hours after Harris campaign launch

It’s actually up to $71,000,000 as of 2 am.

Thanks r1!

That makes my day.

Pedal to the metal, guys!

It’ll be $100 million by end of day.

I just donated, r4.

I just donated myself!

#WinWithBlackWomen is trending on Twitter.

I love so many things about this, but one is that the RNC just spent three days attacking Biden at their convention.

I would imagine this news takes a significant amount of air out of their tires.

From The Atlantic:

I hope Trump is blaming JD

So much ketchup on the walls of Mar-A-Lago.

Also, it was $70 million as of 1AM.

They might get to $100 million in 24 hours.

And so many soiled Depends in the garbage.

Two days ago I swore off the dem party saw 2024 as a lost cause today I am happy and ready to donate.

If you have ever played sports you know there is no given before the opening bell rings. You play the game to see who wins.

. I am now excited about this game and our chances.

Yes.

To be fair, I'd have voted for Biden if he was on a ventilator, and the only reason I was so opposed to him dropping out was because I thought this would turn into a bunch of finger pointing and navel gazing which would land us in an even worse position. Instead, the opposite seems to have happened and everyone rallied. To the point that I'm disappointed people have sat on their hands endorsing.

I have never been more glad to be wrong.

I donated, too. I hope Harris grounds their fat Orange Jesus into dust.

The Prosecutor vs. the Pedo (bestie of Jeffrey Epstein)

After I see my vet bill today i hope to be able to contribute.

The billionaire donors come thru for Momala.

zzzzz r19

R19 Act Blue is more grassroots with a lot of $5, $15, and $25 donations.

Well, Diaper Donnie has Billionaires Thiel and Musk so he will be ok, R19.

There, there R19. There, there.

Trump is so mad, claims the Dems owe him money because they blew his whole campaign 😂

Poor butthurt Donnie

^ Just in case you think I'm kidding...

He's scared, r24.

Trump, like all racist misogynists, is utterly TERRIFIED of a woman of color who is decidedly more intelligent and more competent than he is.

DONATE, BITCHES!!!

That's wild, R18. I donated last night, and then about a half-hour later found myself dealing with a sudden pet emergency -- with a $4000 price tag. Glad I donated beforehand so I wasn't tempted to talk myself out of donating. (And yes, I just spend $4000 so that my cat can piss again. Urinary obstruction. One-year old cat. So fucking random --and expensive. I feel very morally conflicted about spending $4000 on a cat's urethra.)

Is there a ticker to see Act Blue’s current donation status?

R27 I have 3 suggestions for you although far to late in your case

Pet Insurance Pet Insurance Pet Insurance

[27] You must now post photo of cat! We need some cute!

R27 you did the right thing for your kitty. Have a kiss from me X

Trump enjoys having women piss on him, he'll be fine.

For anyone who knows about these kind of donations, is money donated to Kamala then locked up and only available to her campaign, and not available to House and Senate candidates who need it?

All time record-breaker! What an awesome start for Harris. It'll get ugly, it's Trump & MAGA we are dealing with. But the past 48 hours have blown up what a lot of us thought was and wasn't possible -- and in the best way.

Kamala Harris could actually win this thing! And I never felt that about Biden, not his deteriorating 2024 self.

Not bad for a DEI hire :-)

Meanwhile., Elmo donates $45M a month to Trump,

Well sure, R37, but how many new votes does that suggest might be forthcoming? (Can Musk even vote in US elections?)

A surge of small donations is a surge of real enthusiasm out there. It is a terrific sign.

Reuters says Harris is leading 44% to 42%.

100 million in 36 hours.

No wonder MAGAs are panicking.

Not quite, r37.

What the hell 62% first time donors? They did not donate to Obama or biden but now? I sure hope that’s true and it means what I think it does.

A whole lot of Dems have donated in the past.

seeing her speak for ten seconds makes the biden camp look so ridiculous. i understand why we have to put forward the message that we appreciate him so much, but i'm so fucking mad at him. democrats are experiencing the ecstacy of a complete english sentence.

R42 the 62% was first time donor for this election cycle. I last donated in 2022 but I am part of that 62% for 2024.

[quote][R42] the 62% was first time donor for this election cycle. I last donated in 2022 but I am part of that 62% for 2024.

Same.

That makes more sense.

I’d love to see an age and race breakdown for that 62%.

White/46

Me too r46. I was the full demographics on who gave because it will tell us a lot about who is ignited to win. We need young people, black voters especially black men, white men specifically just some white working class men, etc etc. But the energy is REAL.

I assumed it was a lot of younger people donating for the first time, thanks for the info that it's about the election cycle

Voter registration is up too.

Any way to donate that isn’t via Act Blue?

r51 someone posted these options of Washington Post:

Thank you for those links. Great List. Sister District appears to be part of Act Blue. So far the others don't. I had forgotten about Emily's List so thanks fore thew reminder.

I went to donate on Emily's List. Guess what. Part of Act Blue also. Sigh...
