Kamala Harris's campaign is set to funnel $24.5 million to organizations focused on electing Democratic candidates at the state and local levels, according to her campaign chair. This financial boost has been made possible by a surge in donations following President Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race in July.
The decision underscores the Democratic Party’s renewed emphasis on down-ballot races. During Barack Obama's presidency, Democrats suffered significant losses in local contests, enabling Republicans to redraw legislative districts in their favor. Harris's move aims to counteract that trend and strengthen the party's presence at the grassroots level.
