Democrats announce initial $20M investment ahead of midterms
By Max Greenwood - 04/28/21 03:54 PM EDT The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is set to make an initial $20 million investment ahead of the 2022 midterm elections as it prepares to fend off an expected Republican onslaught aimed at toppling Democrats’ coveted congressional majorities.
The early investment – billed by the DNC as only the first round of spending – was announced by DNC Chair Jaime Harrison on Wednesday in remarks to the National Press Club.
The goal of the initial spend is to bulk up Democrats’ organizing efforts in key states, like Arizona, Florida and Georgia, and to rebuild the so-called “50-state strategy” championed by the DNC more than a decade ago. The national party is also planning to pad out its voter protection program by hiring embeds in a handful of critical states.
Democrats are largely expectedly to play defense in 2022, when both their House and Senate majorities will be on the line.
