Democrats benefit from cash influx despite party turmoil

Democratic candidates are raking in large sums of money for Senate, House and downballot campaigns — a sign that the grassroots enthusiasm remains strong despite earlier concerns of fundraising challenges following the party’s rout in November.

Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.), one of the GOP’s top targets next year, raised more than $11 million in his first quarter of fundraising, while former Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.), a Virginia gubernatorial candidate, raked in $6.7 million in the first three months of 2025.
