Democrats smash fundraising records after death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg


 

According to the fundraising organization ActBlue, the party's online fundraising platform, Democratic candidates and progressive groups raised more than $90 million in the hours following the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.


ActBlue said, grassroots donors gave $91.4 million to Democratic candidates and causes in the 28 hours after 8 p.m. Friday, around the time the news of Ginsburg's death broke.


According to ActBlue's executive director Erin Hill, the $91 million stemming from 1.5 million donations broke the record for dollars raised both in one day and in one hour by the non-profit. Donors gave $70.6 million on Saturday alone and $6.3 million in one hour on Friday night, Hill said, beating the group's previous records of $41.6 m. and $4.3 m. respectively. The bulk of the funding will go toward key Senate races.
