Democrats say they are seeing signs of a fundraising boost amid outrage over ICE

Democratic donors say that the fatal shootings by federal agents in Minnesota this month have not only generated outrage in key fundraising circles but have compelled many to open up their checkbooks.

In more than half a dozen interviews with The Hill, major Democratic fundraisers and donors said the shootings provided what one major check writer called “a shot of cold reality” about what the country is facing under the Trump administration.

A number of Democratic donors vowed to not give another penny to the weakened party after its brutal 2024 losses, but now some are vowing to return.

“I am predicting they won’t be able to spend all the money in the midterms,” John Morgan, a longtime Democratic mega-donor and prominent personal injury lawyer, told The Hill, projecting a surge in donations for candidates up for reelection.

is none the less bizarre and in my view, quit short sighted. Just because we are raising money over this doesn't necessarily equate to "winning". traditional means of operation should be their playbook
