Heidi Heitkamp raises eye-popping $12.5 million after Kavanaugh 'no' vote

[spanone]

(CNN)Donors sent a wave of fresh money this month to North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, one of the Senate's most endangered Democratic incumbents, in the days after she voted to oppose Brett Kavanaugh's ascension to the Supreme Court.

Heitkamp collected an eye-popping $12.5 million during the first 17 days of October, more than three times the $3.8 million she raised during the entire July-to-September fundraising quarter. Donors who give in small amounts fueled about 60% of her individual contributions.

The cash tsunami underscores how the contentious process surrounding Kavanaugh's confirmation has stirred activists. Republicans say they too have seen a donor outpouring in response to the drama of the Kavanaugh hearing and the razor-thin vote to send him to the nation's high court.

The GOP-controlled Senate confirmed Kavanaugh this month following a high-profile hearing and FBI investigation into allegations of sexual assault lodged against him. Kavanaugh has denied any wrongdoing.

Now we need to somehow make sure the Native Americans get counted in spite of GOPers desperate efforts to keep them from voting.

4. Good. I'm feeling a little better about our chances of taking both houses.

That would give our committee chairs subpoena power, makimg more of the conspiracy publicly available. So we can impeach and possibly remove this tyrant-clown.
