Along with Kamala Harris' campaign coffers, adding $10 million to the pot, they're spending big in the hopes of flipping the House and holding the Senate.
The vice president is right.Kamala Harris’ campaign and the Democratic National Committee said Tuesday they are sending nearly $25 million to support down-ballot Democrats — an earlier investment and far more money than the top of the ticket has sent in past election years.

The newly announced funds come from both the Harris campaign and the DNC, with a total of $10 million each going to committees supporting Democratic candidates for House and Senate, along with $2.5 million to a national Democratic group supporting state legislative candidates and $1 million each for groups backing Democratic gubernatorial and attorney general candidates.
“The vice president believes that this race is about mobilizing the entire country, in races at every level, to fight for our freedoms and our economic opportunity,” Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said in a statement.

“That’s why the vice president has made the decision to invest a historic sum into electing Democrats up and down the ballot.”

The transfers also reflect a recognition that achieving many of Harris’ stated priorities will require not only keeping the Senate — a difficult task, as the party is defending three seats in states won by Trump in 2020 — but also flipping back the House.

Harris’ campaign and the DNC are positioned to transfer more money this cycle due to a massive surge in fundraising after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race in July.
