Morgan Stephens at Daily Kos:

The Democratic National Committee announced that it’s sending a combined $2.5 million to all 50 state parties for the first time in an effort to influence downballot races in deep-red states, counties, and municipalities. As Politico reported, the historic funding push aims to break Republican supermajorities in state legislatures and strengthen voter engagement. Here are some breakdowns: 

More than $400,000 will be sent to Florida, which the DNC called “‘a priority state that we know Democrats can win,’ focusing on Puerto Rican voter engagement.” 

Missouri will receive $100,000 “to hire organizing staff in hopes Democrats can pick up a handful of seats in the state House and Senate to break a GOP supermajority.” 

The DNC is sending $70,000 to Idaho, “a state that hasn’t elected a Democratic senator in over four decades and where Republicans control every arm of the state government.”

This largesse is thanks to DNC Chair Jaime Harrison, who has raised 25% more money in state party funding during his tenure than previous leaders.  Vice President Kamala Harris led the charge to invest in state and local races in an effort to implement a progressive agenda nationwide. The Democratic presidential nominee sent $25 million of her more than $500 million campaign war chest to downballot races. 

Great news for Democratic Party operations, especially in red states: They are sending a combined $2.5M to all 50 state parties for the purpose of helping out downballot races, especially at the state legislature level.

I’ve been shouting into the void that was once Twitter trying to get attention from National Dems for Indiana. A couple of my recent posts here for reference and Jaime Harrison’s post about Indiana candidates today. It could easily be a coincidence but I’m counting it as a win either way. 💗💗💗💗

Where is the lie though?

I've been hearing anecdotal reports from people that Republicans they know are planning to vote for Harris because Trump has gone completely off the deep end.

I'm also seeing YouTube comments from people saying they're Republican and plan to vote for Harris. (Though admittedly, a lot of YouTube comments have to be taken with a grain of salt.)

But - also - a bunch of conservatives turned out for Harris in Florida:

Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Jaime Harrison said on MSNBC's The Weekend on Sunday, "The Villages is a ruby red—there were 500 golf cart seniors riding around, and probably voted for Donald Trump, previously, supporting Kamala Harris.

So if you're in a red state, don't assume for one minute that your vote won't mean anything. Trump's gone too far for many conservatives, and many of them will be voting blue this election.

Arriving for a campaign strategy session with the vice president and staring in disbelief at her frail, hunched-over form, top Democratic Party officials reportedly began panicking Monday after they discovered Kamala Harris had aged 40 years in a single night. “What the hell happened to her? She was only 59 yesterday,” the visibly distraught DNC chair Jaime Harrison said after the party’s new presumptive nominee began to ask him who he was and then trailed off, her cloudy eyes glossing over beneath a wisp of stark-white hair and her skin now wrinkled and liver-spotted. “She’s been rambling about all kinds of nonsense, and she keeps calling everyone “buster.” No, Madam Vice President, I’m not your stepson, and I’m not here to take you back to California.

Shout out to Noah, the 12-year-old kid who was invited to the DNC as a special guest of DNC chair Jaime Harrison.

He got into a debate with Trump surrogate and cosnpiracy theorist Mike Lindell "the pillow guy" and absolutely bodied him.

This kid is going places.
