The Harris campaign and the DNC plan to transfer $25 million to support down-ballot Democratic candidates. The sum includes $10 million each to the DCCC and DSCC, $2.5 million to the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee and $1 million each to the Democratic Governors Association and the Democratic Attorneys General Association. In the past six weeks, the Harris campaign has raised $540 million. https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/2024/09/03/harris-25-million-transfer/
I am delighted to hear this. It indicates that the Harris campaign is confident that it has (or will have) all of the funds it needs and that it sees the election (and governing) as a team effort.
The linked article also states that the Harris campaign now has "more than 2,000 staff and 312 offices in the battleground states in partnership with the" DNC.
Also the educational realignment has meant there's more people who range from either having money on the side to donate or Brinks Trucks level of wealth are part of the Democratic base now.
If the Harris campaign has all the money it needs, I'd really like them to at least make a play for Texas and Florida, at least in terms of opening a few field offices and putting a little money into targeted media (Latino, Cuban, Black, rural, seniors at the Villages, etc etc; I'm not saying dump millions into Miami and Dallas tv ads).

I can remember a time where our candidates were not competitive due to money; not anymore
It helps that Democratic voters have finally accepted that money in politics is not going away anytime soon.

That would be more of a Senate play than a presidential play, but it might be worth doing.
they already have 11 coordinated field offices in Florida.
This is amazing!
Should make it easier for more House seats to be won back by Democrats. First Bloomberg’s helping finance downballot races, now the Harris Camp.
Pocket change in both instances, but every little bit helps.
