The Kavanaugh Cash Surge

October 9, 2018 · 7:03 am ET · Leave a Comment

“The Brett Kavanaugh confirmation fight has led to a huge increase in donations to Democrats and groups that support them — and Republicans say the battle has been good for their fundraising, too,” Axios reports.

“It’s tangible evidence that the bitter Supreme Court showdown is turning into massive energy for the midterm elections. Republicans have said a ‘Brett bounce’ is increasing enthusiasm among their base, but the fundraising numbers suggest that Democrats are also fired up and throwing all the money they can at the elections.”

“Money isn’t everything, but it’s a good sign that Kavanaugh is going to drive a lot of angry voters to the polls on Nov. 6.”
