Pardon my disparaging of South Carolinians, but I wonder if more of the donations are from outside the state. Because, Harrison is black.Democrat Jaime Harrison raised more than $2.1 million for his challenge to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) in the third fundraising quarter, a staggering haul for a first-time Senate candidate more than a year out from the 2020 election.
Harrison’s campaign said that he ended the quarter with more than $2.6 million in the bank, nearly twice as much as he had on hand at the end of June. The average contribution size in the third quarter was just $24, his campaign said.
“Our campaign is growing and powered by grassroots supporters across South Carolina and the nation," Harrison said.

To be sure, Graham’s reelection effort is also well funded. He hasn’t released his third-quarter fundraising total yet, but he brought in more than $3 million in the second quarter of the year and had more than $6.4 million on hand at the end of June.
South Carolina also remains a deeply Republican state.

And good luck to him.
If you want to contribute:A recent poll commissioned by Collective PAC, a group supporting African American candidates, and conducted by the liberal-leaning Change Research showed Harrison trailing Graham by just 7 points — a relatively small margin considering Graham’s high name recognition and decades-long career in Washington.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
