Memos show massive jump in contributions and volunteers for Kamala Harris campaign, in addition to $200m haul

With less than 100 days to go in the election cycle, the launch of Kamala Harris’s campaign has injected newfound energy into her party, raising Democrats’ hopes of winning battleground states that once seemed irretrievably lost to Donald Trump.

According to a set of memos exclusively shared with the Guardian, Democratic parties in battleground states saw a dramatic surge in contributions and volunteer sign-ups in the past week, in addition to the Harris campaign’s record-breaking fundraising haul  of $200m.

The memos, which were shared by the coordinated campaign between Harris for President and the Democratic National Committee, offer some promising signs for the vice-president. In Georgia, where Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump by just 12,000 votes or 0.2 points in 2020, more than 1,000 new volunteers signed up in the 24 hours after Harris announced her candidacy, marking the largest single-day total of the campaign. Georgia Democrats also collected $200,000, as donations to the state party increased by 320% compared with the week before.

    The party of thoughts and prayers seem intent on supporting a geriatric orange fascist. I look forward to that day months from now where we shut your kind down. Whine about your silly civil war bullshit, all talk and no brains, cause the only person getting shot at so far is the crooked leader of your false flag flying, walled off, backwards thinking, hypocritical cult, you two-week past the expired date of a human being.

    Anyway, that was fun. Democrats do some good, which is fine. When things improve under real leadership I hope to find people just like you online apologizing. :) Cause I don’t know about the others quite yet, though the sentiment is that we want to continue pushing even after this election cycle.

    And if you’re REALLY unlucky, the old grassroots Bernie crowd will step in to help Harris shut down weird old Trump even harder.

    Love you.
