Vice President Harris' campaign brought in $204 million last month — four times more than the $48 million that former President Trump's campaign raised in the same span, new FEC filings show.

in "advanced" democracies, like US, Canada, Australia, money very much reflects election outcomes. Sad statement for democracy...

still showing up to vote has meaning

I wonder if the techbros’ models are forecasting something that makes Trump a bad investment.

Leaving aside the financials (I'm not, but only for a moment), the basic infrastructure for getting out the vote is missing for Republicans.

The Biden campaign built that structure out, and now with Democrats flocking to Harris, there's a structure for these volunteers help. That's largely not present for Republicans, Lara has largely not been sending money in that direction. Instead, Republicans are relying on outside groups, with little experience to fill in this critical work.

Republicans are relying on foreign actors and election interference. They've admitted they don't care about voting.

"Vice President Kamala Harris drew more than 2.4 million donors in her first 11 days at the top of the Democratic ticket — nearly 200,000 more contributors than during the entirety of President Joe Biden’s year-plus long campaign,” Bloomberg reports.
