Joe Biden allies are among those pursuing Kamala Harris’ donors most aggressively since she dropped out of the 2020 race
Within days of Kamala Harris’ exit from the presidential race, one major Harris fundraiser's phone blew up with inquiries from people aligned with four other candidates seeking support: Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, and Cory Booker.
Steve Westly, a former California state controller and gubernatorial nominee now raising money for Biden, said he was in conversation with Harris fundraisers and “things are shaking out.” He emphasized the importance of amassing cash now, before the holidays and the final sprint into the Iowa caucuses.This week and next, the Democratic candidates will get an important opportunity to plead their case to California donors in person, as they head west to prepare for the Dec.
Hollywood-area donors, many of whom were galvanized by Trump to step up their involvement in politics, have also been discussing other ways to ensure Democrats come out of the 2020 election with major wins. So far, that includes pouring money the campaigns of Democrats running to flip the Senate — in particular Arizona candidate Mark Kelly, the former astronaut married to former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who has made frequent stops in southern California.
Harris nabbed the second-most contributions from former bundlers for Obama and Clinton this cycle, surpassed only by Biden, the former vice president. Of the 401 former bundlers who have given money to a candidate by the end of September, 86 — or almost one in four — had supported Harris, according to a POLITICO analysis.
