Harris campaign elevates independent super PACs, others before final push
The Kamala Harris campaign sent a signal to deep-pocketed donors Monday by blessing the work of 13 independent groups that could help elect the vice president over the final 50 days through advertising, registration or other voter mobilization efforts.
The announcement comes as the Harris campaign remains flush with late-summer cash after raising $615 million in the first six weeks after taking over President Joe Biden’s campaign.
But the ecosystem of supportive nonprofits and super PACs that were set up to support her campaign are in many cases still recovering from a tumultuous summer that disrupted fundraising, particularly among wealthy donors who can write large checks.
Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said in a statement Monday that the 13 groups, including several that do not disclose their donors, were important for the vice president’s campaign.
“These groups’ efforts to register voters and mobilize our broad and diverse coalition will play a critical role in winning this November,” she said.
