Retirees Break for Democrats on Campaign Contributions

Wall Street Journal: “Donors who identify their occupation as ‘retired’ gave 52% of the $326 million they contributed through Oct. 17 to Democrats, compared with 48% to Republicans… That is a reversal of their split four years ago—and it’s a record amount of midterm money from retirees.”

“This is the first midterms since the group began keeping donor industry data in 1990 in which retirees favor Democrats over Republicans.”
