Democrats are building a financial powerhouse in hopes of maintaining a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2020.
To that end they are outraising Republican competitors in key congressional districts with help from ActBlue– the independent nonprofit many Democrats are utilizing as their online donor portal.
While impeachment remains relatively unpopular in key congressional districts, Democrats hope to override the message with cash, and lots of it.
A Politico analysis reveals the bulk of at-risk Democrats in the most competitive districts, 33 of 44, have put away $1 million or more ahead of the 2020 election and raised $59 million combined.
Politico reports:
Federal Election Commission reports filed this week illustrate Democrats’ formidable advantage: The 44 Democrats in the most competitive seats banked a collective $59 million so far. Nearly 30 raised $500,000 or more in the third quarter, according to a POLITICO analysis of the fundraising filings. And all but six of the so-called “frontliners” have at least half a million more banked than their challengers, if they have any challenger at all.
Much of the success can be attributed to ActBlue, the independent nonprofit online donor portal which essentially serves as a one-stop-shop for Democrat voters, allowing them to give to the Democrat candidate or organization of their choice with ease.
“Our only mission is to help small-dollar donors make their voices heard by easily giving to the groups they care about. That’s why we have dedicated support teams for donors and the groups that use our platform, as well as free digital fundraising trainings,” ActBlue explains.
Republicans do not have an online powerhouse equivalent to the left-wing organization, giving Democrat candidates a clear advantage in terms of fundraising ability.

Thanks BlackFemaleArmyColonel.
Welcome.
The Dem house majority is gone next year. They have 19 reps in districts PY won, game over.
President Trump.
Your post doesn’t give me any confidence at all.
I’m still trying to figure out what the key Republican campaign themes are going to be in these House and Senate races next year.
The RNC has raised far more money than the DNC. It isn’t even a contest. The RNC has as a result far more cash on-hand than the DNC. The RNC can distribute that cash to whichever candidates they choose.
Furthermore, a great many republican supporters choose not to give to centralized cash collectors preferring instead to give directly to specific candidates.
The reality is not dire as this article seems to want to make the readers believe.
In addition, the RNC has been in re-election mode since election day. It is reported than the RNC has as many as 20,000 grassroots volunteers in many battleground states including states that President Trump narrowly lost and states where he won hat have vulnerable dems in Trump districts.
Do we have to be vigilant? Yes. Do we have to have enough knowledge not to hand-wring over an article such as this? Yes.
Remember, money loses it value when you give it to a Democrat.
Soros worked for the Nazis so is he working for the Russians or the Chinese Communist Party now or both ?
Trying to put lipstick on a Commie Pig.
This is great news! I hope the Democrats raise $5 Billion from their big donors in New York, California and Washington and spend it all over the country. A fool and his money are soon parted.
Dems building FINANCIAL POWERHOUSE to wreck America.
Soros worked for the Nazis so is he working for the Russians or the Chinese Communist Party now or both ?

Many of them were open seats which were in swing districts.
Congratulations on your recent promotion!
The fake news doesn’t want to talk about the massive amounts of cash Trump and the RNC are hauling in, breaking all records. Makes the Rat money look pitiful.
In addition, all Rats are notoriously bad money managers, burning through cash, wasting money on private jets, lavish hotel and restaurant bills, bloated payrolls, overpaid consultants and “”strategists,” etc. They are grossly incompetent financial morons.
Thank you!

The above group is behind them too... With a name like ‘Godlikeprooductions’ I decided NOT to go in...
because throwing money at an election worked so well for Hillary and other Dem and Republicans inpersidential primaries and the national in 2016?
