I can't donate but wishing everyone over there the very best.
I have to ask though, at some point, it doesn't matter how much money you have for a campaign surely? Like, you could give the Dems in Kentucky all the money in the world and it still wouldn't flip for McConnell.
For sure, which is why the fund only gets split between 13 candidates, not like 30. On the other side, the fund also leaves out Arizona, where Mark Kelly is so flush with cash and polling so far ahead of McSally, giving him more would be wasteful.
There's a certain amount of tactics to it too. Alaska and Montana are difficult reaches, but it's dirt cheap to advertise there because they're super low population, so your dollars can buy a ton of airtime. Texas gets less focus than it otherwise would because it's huge and running a campaign requires advertising in a dozen different cities, a Spanish ad campaign, etc.
There's something funny about "get Mitch" not even going after him because Dems banked on dead-end candidate Amy McGrath instead of Booker.
Hopefully all these funds end up in campaigns that need them.
I really don't think Booker or anyone else could've salvaged Kentucky. It just makes the McGrath money even dumber because so much of it first got blown on a fight to see who would get to lose to McConnell before we even got to wasting it on losing to McConnell.
