With 100 days remaining until the November 5 election, Florida Democrats are witnessing a surge of support for presumptive presidential nominee Kamala Harris. They believe this growing enthusiasm makes Florida—and its 30 electoral votes—competitive once again. More than 7,000 volunteers signed up to campaign in Florida in the first week since Harris announced she was running for President, a sharp jump from the 300 to 400 volunteers on board to help Biden.
Since President Joe Biden announced he would not seek re-election and Vice President Kamala Harris launched her campaign, a diverse coalition of voters—representing various races, generations, and genders—has united through virtual meetups, driving a significant surge in fundraising for the Democrats.
The impressive fundraising totals reflect a tangible excitement around the Democratic Party’s presumptive presidential nominee. Each call has showcased a mix of community organizers, celebrities, and politicians rallying voters to support Harris’ ticket in the upcoming election.
“The theory of the case is proving true: There’s a renewed enthusiasm within the Democratic Party for our candidate at the top of the ticket,” said Rep. Angie Craig of Minnesota, who had been among Democrats calling for President Joe Biden to step aside.
For the first time in a U.S. election, a major political candidate is now accepting crypto donations. Donald Trump is courting the crypto industry by consistently expressing support for digital assets, including advocating that all remaining Bitcoin (BTC) be mined in the United States.
This represents a significant turnaround for someone who just a few years ago dismissed Bitcoin (BTC) as a scam that threatened the dollar. Nevertheless, the crypto community has reacted favorably to Trump's shift in stance.
Initially, data analysis showed little inflow to the campaign’s crypto wallet. By mid-June, data analytics firm Breadcrumbs found that Trump had raised less than $60,000 in campaign funds.
Given this change, it’s not surprising that many American crypto investors—and even some everyday users—might be inclined to contribute to his re-election campaign. Indeed, blockchain analytics reveal that Trump has already received at least $8.86 million worth of ETH and USDC through a single Base receive address since April 16, 2024.
