22: Kamala Harris



Biden’s Greatest Strengths Proved His Undoing The personal qualities that enabled Biden’s successes in office helped doom his candidacy for reelection. ......... Right now, most Democrats can see Biden only as a millstone, but history will remember him as one of the most effective presidents of his era. His fingerprints will be all over the American future.

Democrats Donate More Than $50 Million Online After Biden’s Exit Sunday was the single biggest day for online Democratic donations in years — a significant show of enthusiasm after weeks of sluggish fund-raising. ............. Democrats greeted President Biden’s departure from the presidential race with an avalanche of cash, donating more than $50 million online on Sunday and making it the single biggest day for online Democratic contributions since the 2020 election — with hours to go. ....... Donations spiked from an average of less than $200,000 per hour in the hours before Mr. Biden quit to nearly $11.5 million in a single hour later on Sunday .........

As of 10 p.m., Sunday was ActBlue’s third biggest day for online donations in its history.

........... The ActBlue ticker accounts for all donations made on the platform, not just those made to Mr. Biden or Ms. Harris. It includes contributions made to nearly every Democratic House and Senate candidate and to an array of politically minded nonprofits. ......... Party fund-raising had slowed considerably among major Democratic donors in the weeks after Mr. Biden’s poor debate performance.
